MIDDLETON PLACE is a National Historic Landmark and a carefully
preserved 18th-century plantation that has survived revolution, Civil
War, and earthquake. It was the home of four important generations of
Middletons, beginning with Henry Middleton, President of the First
Continental Congress; Arthur, a signer of the Declaration of
Independence; Henry, Governor of South Carolina and an American
Minister to Russia; and Williams, a signer of the Ordinance of
Secession. Visitors are invited to tour the Gardens, the House Museum, and the Plantation Stable yards. Middleton Place, located on Ashley River Road (Highway 61), just 14 miles northwest of Charleston, South Carolina, is owned and operated by the Middleton Place Foundation, a non-profit 501(C)(3) educational trust.
