    Before coming here I had no idea of all the history behind Middleton Place. If you are in the USA it is very important to come here.

    The whole place in general seems stuck in time, beautiful in all its forms. I went with my mother, my husband and my mother-in-law and they loved it :) all the service was phenomenal.

    We saw some beautiful and impressive trees. They reminded me of the stories my grandmother used to tell me and it was very exciting.
