Avenue of Oaks
By Linda Tancs
Perhaps best known for its allée of oak trees known as the Avenue of Oaks, Boone Hall is frequently cited as a must-see stop in Charleston, South Carolina. It was founded in 1681 when Englishman Major John Boone came to Charleston and established a lucrative plantation and gracious home on the banks of Wampacheone Creek. In 1743, the son of Major John Boone planted live oak trees, arranging them in two evenly spaced rows and providing a spectacular approach to the home. The admission fee includes this approach as well as, among other things, the house tour, covered wagon tours of the entire property, stable tours and the gardens.
