Middleton Place is America's oldest landscaped gardens and a National Historic Landmark located along the Ashley River, home to a signer of the Declaration of Independence. Visitors explore a historic house museum, heritage breed livestock, resident artisans in the stableyards, and participate in guided tours covering three centuries of stories from both the Middleton family and the enslaved Africans and African Americans who lived and worked here. The site functions as a research center and educational trust dedicated to revealing the complex contributions to American history from all who built and stewarded this plantation.
