"Seeing the Sights' in Charleston could not be more relaxing or luxurious than from the back a private limousine. The view could not be more enjoyable as a professional driver and knowledgeable guide shows you some of the South's most beautiful scenery, cultural sites and historic landmarks. "Magnolia Plantation & Garden" is both a visual, artistic delight and rich historical experience. Founded in 1676 the plantation has played a part in the history of the United States from earliest settlements through the American Revolution and Civil War. Since 1870, visitors have shared the spectacular natural beauty of this 70-acre plantation on the Ashley River. The property features a well preserved, Civil War-era mansion, slave cabins, a swamp garden and wildlife refuge with native animals and exotic birds, nestled alongside picturesque riverbanks and lakes with hanging cypress. More than 1,000 varieties of magnolia, camellia and azalea, a boxwood maze, miles of pathways and foot bridges make this a crown jewel in South Carolina's landscape.
