Description
This beautiful view is from the front lawn of Middleton Place Plantation, looking out onto a rice field and the Ashley River beyond.
Most of Middleton Place was burned just months before the end of the Civil War. Twenty-one years later, in 1886, the Great Earthquake struck, destroying the walls of the main family residence and the north flanker building. From the end of the war until the early 20th century, much of the property lay neglected and overgrown. In 1916, J. J. Pringle Smith, a descendant of Henry Middleton, inherited the plantation, but it was only after the death of his father, Henry Augustus Middleton Smith, in 1924 that funds were available to begin the restoration.
A National Historic Landmark, home to the oldest landscaped gardens in America and an enduring, vibrant, and essential part of the Charleston and American experience, Middleton Place is owned and operated by the Middleton Place Foundation. The Foundation, a 501(c)(3) educational trust established in 1974, uses historic preservation, documented research, and interpretation as a force for education, understanding, and positive change.
