Middleton Place welcomes the public to experience their new exhibit, Conversations of Freedom beginning on April 11. Guests will be able to complete a self-guided walkthrough with docents available for questions.
Middleton Place was the birthplace and home of Arthur Middleton, one of 56 signers of the Declaration of Independence. Conversations of Freedom explores Middleton’s role in the American Revolution and the war’s impact on his family and the enslaved community at Middleton Place.
Presented in the South Flanker House Museum, the exhibition features exceptional 18th century textiles that belonged to Henry and Arthur Middleton along with a rare silk edition of the Declaration of Independence. Period artwork and furniture from the collection will provide historical context and lend authenticity to each gallery.
