Plantation Highlights:

The Stableyards - offer a look back into working plantation life in the 18th and 19th centuries. This is where African-American slaves took care of the animals and tended to the crops. The skilled slaves were also responsible for making tools, pottery, clothing, and other products to support a functioning rice plantation.

The 65 Acres - offer landscaped terraces, shadowy alleys, ornamental ponds and garden rooms laid out with precise symmetry and balance. They made Middleton Place the most unique and grand garden of its time. Today, swans sail majestically on the water and nest on small islands. It is a journey back in time and a lesson in history - all in a peaceful, beautiful setting.

Middleton Place Restaurant - offers visitors a taste of the Old South such as Hoppin' John and ham biscuits, okra gumbo, she-crab soup, collard greens and Huguenot torte are just a few of the tempting dishes served for lunch. The Market also offers casual picnic style fare including sandwiches, salads, wraps and ice cream.

In the evening, guests can stroll through the gardens and then enjoy an elegant, candlelight dinner overlooking the Rice Mill Pond. Dinner favorites include pan-fried quail, scallops, shrimp and grits. Meals are not included in the ticket price.
