Youth Programs at Magnolia Plantation & Gardens
Magnolia Plantation & Gardens, with its historical significance and diverse natural habitats, is an ideal location to host educational programs for children of all ages. Students can re-live history at the plantation, which was established in 1676 and has experienced events such as early colonization, the Revolutionary and Civil Wars and Reconstruction. The history and contributions of the slaves who operated the rice cultivation here are interpreted inside restored cabins in which they lived. Wildlife is in abundance here, with the swamps, marshes and woodlands on the plantation. The Audubon Swamp Garden is home to one of the region’s most diverse nesting grounds of many species of herons and egrets. Alligators can also be safely observed at many locations throughout the swamp.
The Youth Programs include Boy Scout Merit Badge Programs, Camping, Field Trips, Outreach Programs, Birthday Parties, and the Zoo & Nature Center. Click here for more information about Magnolia’s Youth Program.
