The visitor center is open to drop ins, but all tours need to be reserved. It's not a plantation house, it's the home built in early 1900s by Banard Baruch to use to entertain his friends, including Winston Churchill and FDR. Or his daughters house built in late '30/. Also check Nothing Inlet-Winyah Bay reserve for short, unstrenuous walks into the area.
