Boone Hall Plantation is one of the oldest continually running plantations in the United States. Originally, it produced indigo then grew cotton and pecans and now it grows different fruits and vegetables. We loved the tour of the grounds but could have done without the tour of the mansion. The house is not original to the plantation and was built in the 1930s. If you're a crazy person like me, you know that this is Allie's parent's summer house. Our favorite part however, was one of the most photographed streets in the United States, the Avenue of Oaks. The street is almost a mile long, lined with living oaks which are each over 250 years old. I think it's finally official: We're obsessed with trees.
At an estimated 600 years, this is the oldest living tree on the grounds
We were totally fine leaving, but the monkey didn't want to leave and kept taking more pictures ;) but we had to leave on a midnight train to Georgia.
