Hannah Truman is a graduate student completing her MS in the Clemson University Historic Preservation program. As the 2024 Riley Collections Fellow, Hannah documented nail holes, extant hanging hardware, and related evidence of objects that were once hung or otherwise mounted on the walls inside Drayton Hall.
