Middleton Place includes America’s oldest landscaped gardens and was home to a signer of the Declaration of Independence.
Located along the Ashley River, Middleton Place is a National Historic Landmark, an historic plantation with an historic home, research center, and stableyards.
The historic preservation work and interpretation of history of this essential American experience focuses on major contributions of the Middleton family as well as the enslaved Africans and African Americans who lived and worked on the plantation. From the early Colonial period through the Revolution, the early Republic, the Civil War era and beyond, they made a mark on the land, the colony, state and nation.
The Middleton Place Foundation is not-for-profit educational trust that connects to the fabric of our nation’s complex history.
