Middleton Place

Middleton Place is a historic plantation home to America's oldest landscaped gardens along the Ashley River. Visitors can explore the House Museum, stroll among symmetrical terraced lawns and lakes, and watch live artisan demonstrations in the stableyards. The property provides an insightful look into Lowcountry history and the lives of those who lived and worked on the estate.

Expert notes

• Visitors can take a tour of the house museum, stroll through the meticulously maintained gardens, and participate in various outdoor activities such as kayaking and horseback riding. The stableyard is home to heritage-breed animals and provides a glimpse into the daily lives of enslaved people who worked on the plantation. Don’t forget to bring a high-definition camera, you wouldn’t want to miss a great chance to capture such a great natural landscape. Bring comfortable walking shoes, sunscreen, and insect repellent. Consider purchasing a combination ticket for Middleton Place and nearby historic sites such as Drayton Hall for additional savings.
