SML (& anyone else who's interested)

Middleton Place is a historic rice Plantation in Charleston, SC.  
We've got the oldest landscaped gardens in the US, a house museum 
(only so-so, IMNSHO), & the Stableyards, where we have animals & 
craftspeople.  Us crafter folks dress in 18th century (totally 
historically accurate) clothing, just as enslaved Africans would have 
worn.  We talk to people & demonstrate the crafts.  It *is* 
fascinating.  I work part time, slated to go to full time just as 
soon as I show them I can weave (<g> which is what I've been doing 
for 13 years).  Doug works full time.  Make an excuse to come to 
Charleston (not that you really need one--it's beautiful here) & come 
& see us.  We can get you in free, by the way. 

Peace & Plenty,

Parker
