Didnt get to see much only here for a ghost story hour at friendship village. Awesome that much land has been protected!

If you want to learn the history of the low country, this is a definite stop. This staff are amazing we showed up 30 minutes before close and they still set up a movie for us to watch and answered all of the questions that we had and never once complained about the time. We will be booking a tour with a larger group to go back and see the homes.

Beautiful property. We had very knowledgeable guides and enjoyed our tour.

Great place for marine biology research. Awesome views.

Very well done tour of this interesting and historical place.

I was here as a chaperone for 6 graders on a school field trip from out of town. Some things were interesting. The film was boring but necessary because it gives you the history of this historic place. The interesting things to me were the knowledge of the staff they were awesome, the woodpeckers, and how some wooded environments need fire to continue to flourish.

Well worth a stop. This place was awesome!

I can only review the Discovery Center and the Fairfield Village Tour, thanks to the Covid 19 restrictions. The full bus tour is not operational at this time due to social distancing. Ill start with the staff (volunteers). From the nice lady at the desk to the tour guides (Liz Lewis & Jeanne Arnold) top notch! Liz & Jeanne are retired teachers who are evenly as knowledgable about the plantation & grounds as they are friendly. We followed them, in our SUV down the wooded dirt road, to the restored slave village and went inside the church and several of the homes. We were treated to wonderful stories about the folk who lived there and worked the plantation both as slaves and as free people who wanted to stay where their ancestors had been buried. We even got to see the original Kings Highway going right through the property. It was a real disappointment to hear we could not ride by the plantation home for some inexplicable reason. There were only three of us there at the 2:00 tour. What a shame! The $12 each was well worth the 2 hour tour and the historical information about the family & planation you can read about at the Discovery Center. It was wonderful to hear about the history of the rice and indigo that used to grow on the plantation, and how the new owners (in the early 1900-50s), restored it and gave jobs to former slaves.

We took the behind the scenes tour with Jeanne and it was superb! She is a terrific guide and all the elements of the tour were fun and informative. It lasted 3 hours and we wished it lasted longer. This is a “can’t miss” if u are near Georgetown or Myrtle Beach. The tour cost is ridiculously low for what you get.

The people are all very nice but compared to the tour we had in Charlestown this was expensive and thin. The mini bus had a leak that doused a woman in the front seat, the buildings are in some cases falling apart. If you want to see how the plantations buildings looked originally this isnt the place. More buildings built in 1900s then anything else. Not a bad stop just not real good.

This place is so beautiful! And the wildlife you can see is interesting. I suggest going on a tour, you can really learn the true beauty of the place

Our guide was well versed in his knowledge of the Hobcaw Barony. Our group thoroughly enjoyed the tour!

You can trail ride with your horse some event times each year. Parking limited to under 20 horse trailers. No horse beach access. Wild hogs. Trails marked well.

Great place to learn about a family from long ago. Great tour. Have events by one house at certain times of the year. Very nice place to learn some history and see the grounds and all that is on it

Excellent. Tour was great! Definitely worth going to

Very interesting piece of history and amazing to see so much land preserved for future generations. Tour took a little over 2 hours. Great family trip!!

Sally Murray gave us an incredible tour. If do not go here, youre doing it wrong.

I went to a fundraiser for a local Museum at Hobcaw Barony. It was a beautiful setting. It is down by a river and has a beautiful screened-in room that was easy to sit in and eat food. We had been at the same fundraiser at a different location the year before, and this was a much better place. It would be great for weddings as it is very scenic. I havent been there just to visit it normally, but it worked wonderfully for a function.

Neat place. A lot of history there

Always an adventure. Many workshops and learning experience opportunities. Did the kayak trip to North Inlet with Surf The Earth from Pawleys. Great fun!

Very educational

This is a hidden gem of history, wildlife, and local natural flora and agriculture.

This is one of the most beautiful places you will ever visit. Research it on Google and then tour it. The history is fascinating and the research being done there is so important.

A must visit. A very historic site.

Fascinating. Docents are very knowledgable, accomodating.

We took a kayak trip around the North Inlet Estuary and it was a lot of fun. The staff is friendly and courteous and well informed.

Love the bus ride tour. Tour guide was very knowledgeable and pleasant to have conversation with. Absolutely beautiful sites to look at and history to learn.

Wonderful place to learn about the history of the area

Docents are amazing! Well worth your time and at such a reasonable price.

Fun tour. Highly recommended.

Very interesting - knowledgeable guide made history come alive!

Wow ! Great history tour, about the early days of the Baroch family !

What an amazing preserve! Great for history buffs, nature lovers, and suitable for all ages.

Was not allowed to see it .so what good is it to brag about it. I came all the way from Richmond fo nothing. Thank god for Brookgreen at least they are not selfish about it

Awesome very educational

Very interesting

So much unknown history of the area.

Lunch was wonderful!

Miss Beth and her fellow workers were all very informative and enjoyed answering all the questions that my high school group poised. We also had an opportunity the day we arrived to tour a little bit of Win yah Bay by pontoon boat with three marine biologist from Charleston. We all had a great time and learned alot.

Educational....

Just to let everyone know before driving almost an hour like we did....In order to see the grounds and buildings (other than the discovery center/gift shop), you HAVE to pay $20/person for a tour guide. For us it would have been almost $200. Its not optional like their website says.

Fabulous, interesting a wonderful research and conservation effort of a valuable resource

Enjoyed the museum. Very informative visit.

Interesting preserve, with a bus and house tour of the property.

Very informative

Great educational discovery center. Interesting history. Also home to the Estuarine Research Reserve, trips and tours to the marsh.

Loved this place and Miss Beth was excellent with all that she shared with us

The most unrecognized place of beauty and history in the SC Low Country. Offers guided tours of historic structures, flora and fauna. A super bargain, but make a reservation.

An unspoiled treasure
