Drayton Hall

Why go

The preserved house lets you study its Palladian proportions and original materials without a later decorative restoration. The grounds and exhibits also address the people enslaved here and the site’s long changes. Give the building and landscape separate attention to understand the whole estate.

What to look for

• The brick house retains a Palladian portico.
• Preserved interiors reveal original building materials.
• The estate grounds reach toward the Ashley River.

Useful to know

• Start with the house interpretation, then continue through the grounds and exhibits.
• Leave enough travel time from downtown; this is one stop in the Ashley River Road corridor.
