The article presents information about Drayton Hall, a National Trust historic site in Charleston, South Carolina. Completed in 1742, the historic plantation house is one of the finest examples of Georgian-Palladian architecture in America. Through seven generations of Drayton family ownership, the plantation house has remained in nearly original condition and offers an opportunity to experience history. Part of the mission of Drayton Hall is to preserve and interpret its environs in order to educate the public and inspire people to embrace historic preservation.
