Held each year on Arthur Middleton’s birthday, the Naturalization Ceremony has become a distinctly patriotic event at Middleton Place.
Middleton Place welcomes the public to attend the ceremony to witness the momentous occasion. The ceremony will begin at 10 a.m. with the Presentation of the Colors by the Colonial Color Guard. Trumpet soloist Michael Smith will perform the National Anthem.
A Welcome Message from Charles Duell, Middleton Place Foundation President, will then be given, followed by a keynote speech by Deputy District Director for U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services Roxroy Collins.
The Oath of Allegiance will be administered by Lori Scialabba, Deputy Director of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.
The ceremony will take place on the Greensward under the oaks, weather permitting. In case of rain, the event will be moved inside the Middleton Place Pavilion.
Attendance is free with paid admission.
