My daughter and I really enjoyed our time at the plantation. We received plenty of information, but what we enjoyed the most was how close we were able to come to the authentic items of the plantation itself. It was a step back in time.

We are Northerners so getting to visit an old plantation was something I have always wanted to do. Reading about it in books is one thing, seeing it is another! The house and grounds are beautiful, the staff is knowledgeable. The educational experience excellent! The home, with all of it's original furnishings, is a treat.

We are visitors from France. We found a wonderful story of 5 generations of people who loved the land and worked like slaves (as well as wilh slaves earlier on) to keep and improve their legacy. The staff and volunteers are devoted to the farmstead (it is not a stately home) and Andy guided us with a philosophy and asides... More

Have lived within 45 minutes of this plantation and had never gone to see it. It is a real treasure. The old trees are some of the most magnificient trees I have ever seen.

Hofwyl-Broadfield Plantation is an excellent presentation of an old rice plantation. The tour (by Ranger Randy) was extremely interesting and informative. The admiration the ranger felt for the property, furnishing and family were evident. The original furnishings and history of the family made me feel like part of the plantation. The oak trees are a wonder to gaze. The ranger... More

The Hofyl-Broadfield Plantation is well worth a visit because it is an intact old rice plantation. The grounds are in good shape, the main residence has its original furnishings, and the tour of the residence is leisurely conducted and comprehensive. I strongly recommend that you take the time to visit this plantation.

We arrived at the plantation as some of the first, that day, and this meant that our tour of the house, was a private one, with only my wife and me. The house represents an interesting history in so many ways. We recommend to take the tour of the main house, here you will learn the story of the latest... More
