    The only house to withstand both the revolutionary and civil wars relatively intact, the Drayton Hall has a history that steams over two and a half centuries. Now documented and preserved through its museum foundation, guests can explore this old plantation house, and the grounds which it stands, with highly trained tour guides. Become acquainted with the history of its purpose, its landscape, its people that lived and worked here...its story.
