Description
Take an eerie journey back in time at Coastal Georgia’s most haunted rice plantation Friday nights during the month of October. Hofwyl-Broadfield Plantation State Historic Site will be offering Ghosts and Legends walking tours of the site. We will walk beneath centuries old Live Oak trees, explore the plantation out-buildings and finish with a lantern tour of the plantation house.
As we stroll through Hofwyl-Broadfield’s moss laden trees hear the stories of five generations of plantation owners and the African-Americans who worked here, in both slavery and freedom. There will be tales of recent ghostly encounters, plantation folklore and the rich but tragic history of the Lowcountry rice fields.
The walking tours will be held every Friday night in October:
October 2 at 6:15 p.m.
October 9 at 6:15 p.m.
October 16 at 6:15 p.m.
October 23 at 6:15 p.m.
October 30 at 6:15 p.m.
Tours will last approximately one and a half hours and will be about ½ mile in length. It is suggested that visitors wear shoes comfortable for walking and dress appropriate to the season.
Space is limited so reservations are required. Tickets are $20 per person. Call 912-264-7333 to reserve a spot or for more information. Pre-paid reservations save $5 per person at $15 each.
