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!

I actually grew up in Charleston, SC.
Some locations that might be of interest within the city are Dock St. Theater, Customs House, Rainbow Row, and Battery Park.
Some lesser known spots outside the city would be Boone Hall Plantation (another working old plantation best known for their pick-your-own-fruit events and Halloween hay rides) and Shem Creek (a fishing town with a lot of great seafood restaurants).
There are also some great beaches: Isle of Palms, Folly Beach, and Sullivan's Island. My family usually went to Isle of Palms because it was closer, but the other two are also worth a visit.
And finally there are the historic forts. Fort Moultrie on Sullivan's Island was the site of a famous revolutionary war battle (and the origin of the Palmetto tree on the state flag). Fort Sumter is famous (or perhaps notorious) as the site of the first battle of the Civil War.
Oh, that's so interesting! I have visited, but only for a few days. I saw Middleton Place and Sullivan's Island. I thought it was all super gorgeous.
P.s. Feel free to do a post on one of these here in this community, if you are interested in that sort of thing! :)
Also, calling Middleton Place an "old house with a working vintage farm" is rather an understatement. It's a massive plantation dating back to the colonial period and the Middletons were one of the most influential of the old Charlestonian planter families (Arthur Middleton was one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence).
And yes, the Middletons, like the other planters, kept a lot of slaves. That dark legacy is something you can't really avoid when talking about the Charleston area.
Oh, I'm sorry! I should edit it. I visited a long time ago, and mostly remember the farm and the grounds.
No problem. It's not inaccurate, but I think when most people see "farm" they think of something smaller in scale. But from what I remember of Middleton Place, the grounds were quite massive and there were many buildings besides the main plantation house.
They were quite massive. I edited it and hopefully it reads truer!
Thanks for the edit.
If anyone else sees this and does get a chance to visit, it might be worthwhile to sign up for a guided tour so that you learn more about the history of the place. I remember going on one of those as part of a school field trip. (My memory of the event is a bit hazy given how long ago this was.)
