Over this month’s long holiday weekend, I met up with three of my cousins to tour Drayton Hall, one of Charleston’s historic homesteads. It was a beautiful day to tour the grounds and the historically-maintained home was so interesting. Construction on the house started in 1738 and it is in many ways exactly as it was then. If it looks familiar, the front of the house was used in scenes from the movie The Patriot. Here are some of the pictures from the day:
The only original out-building that has survived the years – it’s a privy (outhouse).
Check out the armrests in the depiction of the privy!
The plaster ceilings were amazing.
I love these window seats!

We had a great time and it was wonderful to spend the afternoon with family. I’m excited to go back with Phillip soon and to share it with future visitors. Loving how much there is to do in this city!
