text: I just got back from Christmas at Latta Plantation I took my yearold twin boys We toured the small nature center first minor point if interest and then paid our to see the PlantationnnThe Visitor Center had a movie running in the exhibit area that lasted over an hour It was about Harriet Tubman helping free the slaves and had a Christmas theme We caught parts of it on the way in and out It was really a bit slooow for this sort of placennThe Visitor Center exhibits explain a lot about the folks who lived there a long time ago and they display some of their relics You can also grab some refreshments and souvenirs if interestednnThe large house is fully decorated and we took a tour that showed us how folks lived back then It was moderately elegant but life was still hard nnThere was a weaver working upstairs and museum workers in each room showed us some of the features of the house nnA kitchen out back was fully functional with a demonstration of brick fireplace cooking going onnnThere are sheep cows pigs goats and horses here A slave cabin is set up so you can see how the slaves lived at the time nnThis is a small plantation so do not expect anything lavish But do expect to find a museumlike experience that does give an honest portrayal of liffe in the precivil war era
