On this Giving Tuesday, we thought we’d take a moment to celebrate one of Drayton Hall’s unsung heroes: the bricks. These bricks predate the American Revolution and—along with your support—literally hold Drayton Hall together. You, too, can be an unsung hero for Drayton Hall. Please consider celebrating Giving Tuesday by making a gift to the Drayton Hall Fund today. Your support will help us repoint Drayton Hall’s historic bricks, shore up its building envelope, and protect its interiors. Drayto

As we prepare for the Great Hall ceiling project, our team put both high-tech tools and traditional techniques to work. Before any preservation begins, we used advanced imaging to see behind the plaster and paneling—without ever touching them. To verify what the technology revealed, a team from Richard Marks Restorations employed a time-honored craft known as sounding. Working in pairs, they gently tapped across the ceiling, listening for hollow or detached areas and mapping them with color code

The plan calls for a 10’ shared-use paths along Highway 61 — but at a steep cost: 🌳 154 trees lost (many legacy live oaks) 🌿 2.78 acres of wetlands disturbed 💧 275 feet of stream impacted This would be a devastating loss to the natural and historic character of the Lowcountry. The cost to our landscape and heritage is far too high. 💬 Your voice matters — speak up to prote
