Allison stands in front of Hofwyl-Broadfield estate, a rice plantation that had over 200 slaves. We learned that conditions at a rice plantations could be even more brutal for slaves than cotton plantations. The yellow fever plagued, mosquito infested fields the slaves worked in drove the wealthy land owners to retreat inland during the summer.



Touring the plantation you will encounter an "interesting" tour guide named Andrew. The plantation house has all the original antique furniture and paintings and is run as a state park.
