“Conversations of Freedom: The American Revolution at Middleton Place” Exhibit Opening

Conversations of Freedom: The American Revolution at Middleton Place is our signature exhibition commemorating the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution.

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.

Conversations of Freedom opens this April and will be on view through December 2029. Make plans to join the conversation.
