About this activity
Visit: Drayton Hall, 3380 Ashley River Rd, Charleston, SC 29414-7126

Make your way to Drayton Hall, a short 13-mile drive from downtown Charleston. Walk through this Palladian estate, methodically preserved to protect the seven generations of history within its walls. Drayton Hall is a must-see for anyone interested in South Carolina history, Palladian architecture, and culture.

Start your journey to Drayton Hall with a 50 minute narrated tour of this historic home, and conclude with a leisurely self-guided tour through the picturesque grounds of the estate. See layers of history carefully preserved on the 125 acres that surround the main house with stunning views of the Ashley River, the reflecting pond, and the 18th-century live oak trees. Included in your All-Access Admission ticket, you will receive full access to the Drayton Hall House Tour, the Gates Gallery, Caretaker's House, Lenhardt Garden, an 18th century African-American cemetery, and the Interactive Program ' Connections: From Africa to America.'

At the end of your visit, make your way back to downtown Charleston and enjoy your stay in the city.
