Drayton Hall is smaller than Middleton but has as much history and may be even more beautiful. Did not realize that it fallen into disrepair for so long some time ago. I think it's the best of Charleston's historic sites. you got to check it out.

A short drive from downtown, and worth a couple of hours to soak in the rich history of the South. We did a tour of the property and you can almost feel the families who lived the still in the fabric of the plantation.

Our visit to Drayton Hall was very impressive. Well worth it. After touring countless historic homes in many places, it was special to see a place in this state of preservation. Truly unique. The guide ("interpreter"), Denise, was superb and the perspective on history of the area we gained was wonderful. The setting is lovely, it's down the road from some of the other plantations tourists enjoy, 20 min. drive from downtown Charleston.

This plantation house has not been altered - so although it is empty of furnishings and fabrics, you see the house as it really was I especially loved the family writing on the wall in one room. T
