Weekend: Drayton Hall extends hours for summer
Spend some time with history this weekend. Drayton Hall is extending its hours through Aug. 31. The historic Ashley River plantation will open at 8:30 a.m. with the first tour of the day at 9 a.m. Tours of the 1738 home take place every hour; the last tour begins at 4 p.m. Ticket holders may also attend special programs this summer, including “Connections: From Africa To America,” an interpretive program tracing the story of Africans to America through slavery and into the 20th century. The program is at 11:15 a.m. and 2:15 p.m. daily. From June 11 through June 22, ticket holders may attend an archaeology field school as Drayton Hall’s Preservation Department, archaeologists and anthropology students excavate the site of a privy on the property.
