Middleton Place is a National Historic Landmark about fifteen miles from downtown Charleston, where Henry Middleton began his terraced gardens in 1741 above a bend in the Ashley River, with a 4,700-square-foot pavilion and lawn space for around 200 seated.
The plantation was established in the 1730s by John Williams and took its present name through his daughter's marriage to Henry Middleton. The house was completed around 1741, the year Middleton began the gardens, which are often described as the oldest landscaped gardens in the United States. The site was designated a National Historic Landmark District in 1971.
The grounds sit about fifteen miles north-west of downtown Charleston on the south-west bank of the Ashley River, where the river bends sharply. The house stands on a rise some twenty feet above the water with a view of nearly a mile downstream, and the lawns facing the river are used for ceremonies and seated receptions.
