Visiting Boone Hall Plantation

9/30/2016

Today we visited the Boone Hall Plantation, the oldest and still operational plantation still growing fruits, vegetables and pecans. Over time it has produced indigo for dye, cotton and was once the top producer in the world of pecans. A wonderful visit, much history to learn.

I have more photographs that I will post soon as I have a proper card reader because yes, I have an older model digital camera I'm using. :0)

The gang is all here and we're having a grand time. Today we visited the H.L. Hunley Museum at the Charleston Naval Base on the Cooper River. The facility and educational exhibits are amazing and a very worthy visit. Especially when you get to actually see the vessel, a Civil War submarine that succeeded in bombing and sinking a Union vessel, the USS Housatonic, a blockade vessel. History is alive here in Charleston.

Afterwards, the memorial cemetery was held at the park and the wreath was sent to the water in memory of the lost men and the women who supported them in the war effort. A beautiful sunny day, big ships, history and all with wonderful people. Jim Merriman Jr. even allowed me to add some of the photos he took. Thanks Jim!
