Hall Drayton Hall is the
only plantation house on the Ashley

and Civil Wars intact. After seven
generations, two great wars, and
numerous hurricanes and
earthquakes, the main house of this
National Historic Landmark remains

Magnolia
Plantation and It's Gardens
Listed in the National Register
of Historic Places by the U. S.
Department of the Interior,
stately Magnolia Plantation has,
for over three centuries, been
the original ancestral home of
the Drayton family, whose many
sons have played important roles
throughout American history. It
is believed that no other
plantation in South Carolina is
still under original family
ownership from that early date,
thirteen generations of the
present-owning family having
enjoyed it. It is the centerpiece
of Ashley River history, and
played important roles in the
early days of settlement, the
Revolutionary War, and the Civil
War. 3550 Ashley River Road,

Middleton
Place Middleton Place
was established early in the
life of the Carolina colony and
served as a base of operations
for a great Low Country planter
family and was home to a
dynamic African-American slave
community. Begun in 1741 by
Henry Middleton, President of
the First Continental Congress,
the 60-acre landscaped garden
was both an intellectual and
emotional focus for successive
generations of Middletons.
Until 1865, the garden was
nurtured and embellished by
Henry's son, Arthur Middleton,
a signer of the Declaration of
Independence; Arthur
Middleton's son, Henry
Middleton, who was Governor of
South Carolina and U.S.
Minister to Russia; and
Governor Henry Middleton's son,
Williams Middleton, who signed
the Ordinance of Secession.
