One of three major rice plantations along the Ashley River in Charleston, SC. The other two are Middleton and Magnolia, both of which have probably thousands of photos in this web site.

Drayton Hall no longer has the large tracts of land we like to shoot. However the hall itself is unique in that it was not burned during the US civil war like other local plantations. The smaller Runnymede Plantation just down the road is only ruins. Drayton did have the smallpox warning flags during this period which may have saved it.

The hall has never been renovated and has been preserved ‘as is’ for historical accuracy.
