In 1681; Boone Hall Plantation began its long history in the Lowcountry. From the Boone family through the McRaes; the plantation�s residents; black and white; all left a significant imprint upon the land as the plantation survived two wars and became the longest running brickyard in the area. As a center of tourism; Boone Hall embodies the romance of the South while providing the resources necessary to understand the network of lives that has inhabited the plantation for over 300 years. The plantation is tightly linked with the community and draws upon that relationship in its many educational programs. Numerous festivals are celebrated at the plantation; including the Strawberry Festival and Happy Jack�s Pumpkin Patch; and many seek the unique landscape for their social gatherings. Through these relationships and events; Boone Hall will endure well into the future.

Memory LaneBy chickenlilThis is a great compilation of photos and history of Levittown. where I grew up - and left at age 18 - I was surprised to learn many of the details and had not realized what a significant cultural "development" it was...A great place to raise a family and grow up. we were very free as children to live in a safe community. with ample resources for entetainment. exercise. involvement and excellent schools. as well as those "wonderful homes". Looking back with fondness and understanding I did not have as a child. this book is a trip down memory lane. I shared it at a family gathering and it was a big hit. esp. some of the older people who recognized their friends photos in the book.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. It was an amazing book to readBy Rosario VillaIt was an amazing book to read! We hear of the civil rights movement in the South but never really how much the North had an impact on African Americans too. Great book!
