3 unusual facts about Middleton Place


Middleton Place

Arthur Middleton's son and grandson, Henry Middleton (1770–1846) and Williams Middleton (1809–1883), oversaw Middleton Place's transition from a country residence to a more active rice plantation.

Three of the four planted at the corners of the main parterre survive, grown to fifteen feet: One is Camellia japonica "reine des fleurs"; the other is an ancestor of the modern cultivar Charles Sprague Sargent.

Williams Middleton

He is best known for his work restoring the Middleton family seat, Middleton Place, outside Charleston, South Carolina following the Civil War.
