"Artifacts, visitor center & history!"
May 2024
Warm slow plantation has tons of artifacts located in their visitor center. There are a few trails for a nice level walk. The plantation house is not open for visits but you might get a peek. The Cemetary is full of impressive, tombstones and famous local celebrities. Which are hundreds of years old. We stopped for lunch which made the afternoon enjoyable. This is a great afternoon if you were a history buff.
