First Stop - Charleston, SC!

First Stop - Charleston, SC!

Breathe in the sweet, magnolia-scented air and enjoy the Spanish moss that hangs in mysterious tendrils from the trees.

We'll go first to Middleton Place, a beautiful colonial period plantation that has a working vintage farm!

As @zhemao points out, the Middletons were very influential in Charleston and did own slaves. If you visit Middleton Place today, they educate you on its history, as well as show you around the grounds.

They have breeds of farm animals that are the same kinds that colonial families might have used.

There are also many lovely gardens to wander into. Some of them even have secret, smaller gardens hidden inside, with benches and statues!
