Drayton Hall (NTHP)

The Mission of Drayton Hall, a historic site of the National Trust for Historic Preservation, is to preserve and interpret Drayton Hall and its environs in order to educate the public and inspire people to embrace historic preservation. Drayton Hall is an accredited museum, although certainly not a typical one. The Drayton Hall encounter is more than an average southern plantation visit. Tour guides are professionals -- many with advanced degrees -- who enlighten visitors about the dynamics affecting Drayton Hall over time. "Connections: Africans, Americans, and Europeans," details the lives of African Americans -- before and after slavery -- who lived and worked at Drayton Hall and other Drayton properties and how they developed a special culture from the 18th to the 20th centuries.
