Overview of your Charleston tour:

Middleton Place is perhaps the most exceptional plantation in the country. This should not be surprising, as the Middletons were the wealthiest colonial family in British America. On this tour, we will stroll through almost 80 acres of Versailles-inspired gardens - cited as the Nation's loveliest by the Garden Club of America. You will also see the oldest House Museum in the United States, filled with Middleton family treasures, including artwork, furniture, and an official copy of the Declaration of Independence issued to signer Arthur Middleton. Near to Middleton Place is America's loveliest example of Georgian Palladian architecture. While beautiful, this house is maintained in its preserved state - not restored with furniture etc... By visiting both locations, you will be able to experience America's loveliest gardens and colonial-era home in one journey! Note: While this tour is considered to be of light effort for able-bodied guests, it would be challenging for those with mobility limitations.
