Middleton Place

Hi All,

Today we visited the site of a former rice plantation. The Middleton family was very politically active including signers of the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, the SC Civil War Articles of Secession and SC Governor.

The gardens are beautiful.


This statue is titled "Winter"

The main house. It had been larger but the Union Army burned some of it down on 1865.

All of the grounds were beautifully manicured.

In the shop area, a volunteer describes the use of molding planes to make tongue and groove board.

The coach house has several beautiful carriages.

Love,
