We toured Middleton Place, on the Ashley River, and found the stories of the family and the slaves and freedman most interesting.

The oak lined drive looks like the plantation drive in Louisiana, which I would love to tour in person also, Oakland plantation. <br />What grows on the arbors on each side of the drive? looks to be roses. <br />Absolutely beautiful. <br />looking forward to the second post for sure!<br />Thank you for visiting and so happy you had a wonderful Mothers day!!Betsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12285774814387516190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271182300590181890.post-37758939891935638662016-05-10T08:26:57.308-04:002016-05-10T08:26:57.308-04:00What a wonderful post, full of history.

It is most important to preserve our history and to understand it. I am glad that you took the time to share your trip. I look forward to seeing the gardens. annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01668006270534204954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271182300590181890.post-35622965799407264172016-05-10T07:35:15.217-04:002016-05-10T07:35:15.217-04:00Thank you for the tour of the outside of the house...Thank you for the tour of the outside of the house and the property.

The thought of slavery frightens me, and I wonder how one can visit such plantations without thinking of it. Interesting that a Canadian built what is the present house. Hope you are doing well. cynthiasreyes.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13846821787712764551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271182300590181890.post-75423169511490711862016-05-09T18:55:08.621-04:002016-05-09T18:55:08.621-04:00Charleston is on my list of places to visit.
