Friday we visited the Middleton plantation which before 1865 produced 20 tons of rice a year, using 100 slaves that were freed with the American Civil War. This plantation belonged to a very wealthy British family. They grew the food they needed and the rice was exported by using the Ashley river close to the plantation. The land owner thought it was very beautiful so he asked for two Versailles architects to make the gardens even more beautiful. They came with 17 gardeners.
We saw aligators in the lake too!
