Drayton Hall

Drayton Hall is a historic plantation house located in Charleston, South Carolina. Built in the mid-18th century, it is one of the oldest surviving examples of Georgian architecture in the United States. Unlike many other historic homes, Drayton Hall has never been restored, maintaining its original materials and structure, which offers a unique glimpse into colonial life. Set on a beautiful landscape along the Ashley River, it is notable for its exquisite craftsmanship and rich history, providing insights into the region's past, including the roles of enslaved people in its construction and upkeep. Today, it serves as a museum and educational site.
