THE LIVING HISTORY FIELD TRIP DAY AT BOONE HALL PLANTATION is a unique opportunity for teachers and students to take a trip back in time and experience the color and lifestyle of the antebellum era on a day designed especially for them. This special day kicks off Boone Hall’s Living History Weekend, which is held each November in conjunction with the re-enactment of The Battle Of Secessionville.

This will be a field trip unlike any other. Students will be surrounded by authentic reproductions of everything from the 1860’s...and are likely to be amazed by what they will experience. Students have the opportunity to closely interact with military & civilian re-enactors, and gain an understanding of what daily life was like in the 1860’s during the Civil War.

Students and teachers also get to see and enjoy “Exploring The Gullah Culture,”  This live presentation takes an entertaining and educational look at the origins of the Gullah culture.
