Plantation Days at Middleton Place (4300 Ashley River Rd., 843/556-6020, www.middletonplace.org, daily 9 a.m.–5 p.m., last tour 4:30 p.m., guided tour $10) happen each Saturday in November, giving visitors to Middleton Place a chance to wander the grounds and see artisans at work practicing authentic crafts, as they would have done in antebellum days, on the grounds, with a special emphasis on the contributions of African Americans. A special treat comes on Thanksgiving, when a full meal is offered at the Middleton Place Restaurant (843/556-6020, www.middletonplace.org) on the grounds (reservations highly recommended).
