Boone Hall (Plantation : S.C.)
Variant namesBiographical notes:
Boone Hall Plantation, located in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina, is one of America's oldest working plantations, continually producing agricultural crops for over 320 years. The land was gifted from owner, Theophilus Patey, to his daughter Elizabeth and her new husband Major John Boone as a wedding gift in 1681; it was then known as Boone Hall Plantation. The Boone family owned the plantation until 1811 when it was sold to Thomas A. Vardell and then Henry and John Horlbeck bought the property. By 1850, enslaved laborers produced 4 million bricks, by hand, per year.
