The day that we visited was very sunny. There were several classrooms of elementary age students visiting at the same time so the tour was geared more to that age group. I have often expected the southern plantations to resemble Tara from "Gone With the Winds," but this one dispelled that stereotype. The history behind this plantation helped educate me... More

We visited on a week day. Not many folks there except some kids on a school outing. There are several buildings to tour and farm animals to see that kids might like. If you don't go with a group or on a weekend when they are demonstrating the crafts there is not much activity going on. They do have a... More

We visited this attraction on a day, when they were having a Living History event. It was very interresting. There were reenactors from the Civil War and Revolutionary War as well as spinners, weavers and cooks, etc.. We took the self guided tour. Tours of the main house are usually given every 30 minutes, but there was no schedule on... More

I simply had to write about the Latta Equestrian Center after I got back from a sunset horseback riding session. What a fabulous unique experience to give someone I have never been horseback riding before. I mean NEVER. The only remotely similar experience I have had was pony rides when I was 7yo at a birthday party. I am not... More

Although the Latta Plantation house isn't big, this is still a worthwhile tour. Our tour guide was great! Very knowledgable about the plantation, family, and time period. It was also fun walking around seeing the animals and other buildings. Very good!

Maybe I've spent too much time visiting more interesting places, but this was a nice place to go for a walk, but I wouldn't drive more than a couple miles out of the way to get there. The trails are good for walking, and there are some nice views along the lake. I think going for a couple of hours... More

Went to the plantation which is located in a great park with horseback riding available. The day we went there was a civil war reenactment going on, with the building of several military camp sites. The plantation itself was very interesting and the staff was very informational. Glad we went. Would highly recommend.

My husbands family was in town over Thanksgiving. All 17 of us went to the plantation. It is located in a great park with horseback riding available and a raptor center. The plantation itself was very interesting and the staff was very informational. Glad we went.
