Thanks again Everyone!
The trip to Georgetown was wonderful. If you ever get the chance to do this tour, do it. Some of these plantation homes are pre-Revolutionary War. The ones that were a part of the tour are all well-maintained. Almost all of the houses had fresh arrangements, sometimes several, in every room. We were not allowed to photograph inside the homes, which are private residences, but could photograph the grounds. We were not allowed in many of the homes, only on the grounds. I took lots of pictures, but the digital camera was having problems, and I had to use a disposable camera.
While Tara ("Gone With The Wind") always comes to mind when I think of plantations, many of the ones that we saw were not on that scale, but they were wonderful nonetheless. Of the homes that we were allowed to tour inside, many had on display their sterling silver tea services, other silver items, valuable china, and other items, including one house that was decorated with several Audubon prints signed by Mr. Audubon, and which had been gifts from the artist to the landowner.
Here I go again, rambling........
