- General Info
- History of the Edmondston-Alston House was built in 1825 by Scottish shipping merchant Charles Edmondston at the height of his commercial success. The collection at the Edmondston-Alston House Museum consists of pieces that belonged to the family, reflecting not only family history but American history. Despite the ravages of the Civil War, the Earthquake of 1886 and numerous hurricanes, the Alston family pieces remain in place much as they have for over 150 years. Notable in the collection is an original print of the Ordinance of Secession, portraits, dining room table, gas lights, mirror and exquisite interior woodwork. The house museum is managed by the Middleton Place Foundation, a not-for-profit educational trust.
