Most visitors know Drayton Hall as a place to visit, explore, and learn about the past. This tour reveals another side of the institution: Drayton Hall as a center for preservation expertise. Over the years, members of our staff have lent their skills as researchers, archaeologists, architectural historians, conservators, and preservation advocates to projects throughout Charleston. The sites we visit today demonstrate how the preservation professionals at Drayton Hall contribute to understanding and protecting the city’s broader historic landscape.
This tour will meet at the Gazebo in the center of White Point Garden Park at The Battery in Charleston at 10 am and finish at about noon.
