There are two sites on this one park. The Bennehan and the Cameron Plantations. The first is near the visitor center and contains a few buildings and the manor house for the Bennehan family. The house is empty and is not part of the tour. Sad, life happened there whether good or bad, it should be part of the story.
The larger of the two, the Cameron plantation is very well-preserved and has some outstanding buildings. No manor house, but the barn is impressive.
The tour is $2, and I didn't take part as I had gotten to the site at 10 am on Saturday, and the first tour started at 11. They provided a map.

There are some walking trails and in finer weather they'd be a great way to spend the day.

Stopped on my way home from South Carolina- I love visiting historic sites & learning about them. This was a great tour. For how cheap the tickets were it surprised me that the tour was long & impactful! The tour guide was knowledgeable & friendly! My only complaint was that the main house was not available to view but outside of that I enjoyed the experience!

Love my experience and my tour guide!!

By chance me and my partner were able to get a sort of private tour and the history lesson was amazing. It was such a small intimate and educational tour. The explanation the story line and the details our guide provided was everything even the personal inputs and conversations that were able to be drawn based on the facts and details for what it was like being enslaved here or even the perspective view for the owners view was superb. The expressed attention to detail and description giving for even buildings that never remained almost made me feel as if I was immersed in the very moment. I was even lucky enough to be on property while descendants of the enslaved people gathered to celebrate their family heritage. It was such a blessing to encounter and learn. The time of the tour was a good time quality and even with all that was shared and explored I was still intrigued to know more! I wish that the Farintosh Farm participated as their farm relates to the family history! That would just make this tour even the more better!!

Visited the Historic Stagville site to learn more about the history of Slavery, Freedom and Resistance. The guide was passionate in relating the stories of lives, culture and labor of enslaved African Americans during the guided walking tour in the 165 acre State Stagville site .The Bennehan House, Great Barn and Slaves quarters at Horton Grove are well preserved to showcase the history.
