Middleton Place is located along the Ashley River near Charleston, South Carolina.

There are many separate gardens with each its own special features.

There is a large camellia garden and a formal rose garden and many water features and statuary.

I especially enjoyed the area that is the working part of the plantation.

There are carriages and display shops of blacksmiths, coopers, carpenters and candle-makers.

The icing on the cake is the barnyard and barns with animals.

I made friends with a one-horned Water Buffalo

and a horse, of course.

Both beautiful and fascinating.

Middleton is marvelous.
