Review:
Located on the Ashley River, Drayton Hall was established in 1738 and is the oldest preserved plantation home in the United States open to the public.
The main home is an outstanding example of Georgian-Palladian architecture, and the plantation is also home to one of the oldest documented African-American cemeteries in America.
The cemetery dates back to at least 1790 and is still in use today. Guided tours of the house are included in the price of admission and are offered every half hour.
Tours last approximately 50 minutes, and visitors typically spend between 60 and 90 minutes touring the rest of the plantation.
Address: Drayton Hall, 3380 Ashley River Rd, Charleston, SC 29414, Phone: 843-769-2600
