JAZZ ON THE CREEK AT BOONE HALL

Upon arrival hostesses in antebellum costume will take you on a tour of the lovely Georgian plantation house. On your way to the Dock House you'll stroll past the slave quarters built from brick made on the plantation in the 1800's. It was in these quarters and others throughout the south that jazz had its origins. When you arrive at the Dock House you'll step into a jazz club of days past. As the sun sets over Wampancheone Creek you can't help but lose yourself in the soulful strains of this wonderful music. Here you will be treated to cocktails, succulent seafood appetizers, and a delicious lowcountry buffet.
