Middleton Place National Historic Landmark

Begin the morning with the International African American Museum (IAAM). The museum documents the journey that began in Africa centuries ago, and still continues today. At our entrance, the African Ancestors Memorial Garden sprawls across the grounds and reflects on the significance of the historically sacred
site of Gadsden’s Wharf—where alongside several others in the Charleston Harbor—an estimated 40% of African captives entered this country. Inside, exhibitions tell the dynamic story of the international African American experience.

Next, visit America’s Oldest Landscaped Gardens, the House Museum, Living History Stableyards, and Eliza’s House. Together they tell the inclusive stories of all who lived and worked here, including two American Founding Fathers and generations of enslaved people. Connecting with the past. Inspiring the future. Hosted lunch at Middleton Place.
