Cheshire Hall Plantation

It was interesting and eye opening. The tour could have been longer. The ladies in the gift Hut were very nice. They were weaving baskets. Definitely buy souvenirs here! Support local crafters! Also, if you pay at the location, bring cash.

Excellent little tour of a historic plantation on Provo. Price is $15pp. Tour took less than 30 minutes.

It was fantastic! An awesome experience to visit and be present where there are authentic ruins, rooms, gardens. It's not possible to duplicate the masonry of the stone walls, they stood the test of time for centuries!!

Sad yet beautiful, if that makes sense. I love learning the history of an area and viewing actual landmarks.

Offers a little snippet into how things were back then. The plantation could have been better preserved/maintained to be honest. Take a closer look at the pictures to get more in depth information about how the plantation looks currently.

We took the "tour" for $15 per person but quite honestly save your money and just walk around yourself and read the signs, our guide I suspect, didn't speak English well enough to answer any questions so we got a lot of "I don't know" but the presentation we had was poor to say the least - there was 2 pauses at different spots to talk about the "the 1 day off the slaves had" and a pause near a rock walled off stove that was supposed used to cook for the master was not worth it - also FYI, the pics shown are not as the site is today - the area is not cleared and is overgrown so you walk along the path and not much else, no open spaces to speak of, brush everywhere. We learned more just googling it than actually being there - the Turks and Caicos trust really dropped the ball on this historic site with maintenance and the training of the guide IMHO. You'd be better off having 1 person take the tour and then repeat it back to everyone else as 95% of what our guide told us was on the info boards on site. Total time on site - 20 minutes. Actual tour - 10 minutes Not recommended.

Dr Higgs was very knowledge about the site and I loved the extra tidbits about TCI. This site is absolutely beautiful. You really get an appreciation of how hard slaves had to work the land for it to be productive. I like especially that the story was told from the perspective of the slaves rather than the slave owners, there was no glamorisation of the story. I would recommend maybe wearing a hat as there is not much shade throughout the tour.

Not a bad tour if you stopping through. Not enough content for a dedicated trip in my opinion but nevertheless it was worth the stop that's integrated into the love buggy tour.
