The Middleton's owned 60 acres of beautifully landscaped gardens.
This is where the prominent members of the Middleton family are buried on their property within the gardens.

Middleton Plantation
Today we went to the Middleton Place, a plantation that was established early in the life of the Carolina colony and was home to an African-American slave community. It began in 1741 by Henry Middleton, President of the First Continental Congress and Henry's son, Arthur Middleton, one of the four SC signers of the Declaration of Independence.

Wow that looks so beautiful. That is neat that you are able to live in a place with such a rich history. So I was reading a magazine that other day and it said that the Charleston was voted for having the nicest people!
