School Groups and Field Trips
Middleburg is a unique look back into the human and natural history of the South Carolina Lowcountry. This National Historic Landmark typifies the rice plantations that were a vital part of Charleston’s prosperous yet complex and difficult history. The main house demonstrates the craftsmanship of the enslaved individuals and Huguenot settlers that built this house, standing today almost exactly as it did when completed in 1797. The outbuildings, including the kitchen house with an enormous pass-through fireplace and the old commissary, which served as the center of commerce for the area, are unique glimpses back in time. The most extraordinary feature is the remains of the old rice mill from the early 1800s. This steam-powered mill was the engine that drove the economy for the wealthy rice growers replacing the old hand work performed by the enslaved workers on the plantation.
Guided history programs related to the economic, cultural and natural history are available for scheduled educational and youth groups. Day and overnight programs are available for educational institutions interested in engaging in further research and understanding of the rich history represented by Middleburg.
