Very informative tour. Since this property is kept as is, it will not be filled with flowers or bright and colorful. It is meant to give tourists an idea of life back in the era of the Drayton's.

We had 1 day and 3 plantations to visit. So we decided to optimize our time and visit Drayton Hall and Middleton Plantation after hearing that Magnolia Plantation was very "Disney-fied" kid-centric, expensive ($70 for full day of activities) and would take an entire day. We were not disappointed in our choices. While the only thing that remains of the... More

Drayton Hall was the only plantation that wasn't burned during the civil war, so the construction of the home remains as it was when it was built in the last 1700's. The home is empty, but the history and construction is very neat to see.

Nothing fancy here but a great walk in the past. After the tour of the plantation everyone else went to the riverfront walk but my wife and I went on the marsh walk all alone. What a pleasure.... Overall we really liked this tour and teamed up with the magnolia garden tour (get the combined tickets) it made for a... More

Drayton Hall is not for everyone, as this old plantation house has been left in its original condition and hasn't been restored at all. The house is hundreds of years old and what is fascinating is the history of the place. The tour guides give a lot of information, and young children would probably be bored here. However, I really... More

Drayton Hall was unique in that it is not another restored colonial plantation, but is preserved in its intact and near-original condition, so you truly get an accurate feel for the authentic nature of the life of all who lived on this plantation. Our favorite must-see recommendation is the program "Connections:From Africa to America," because it gives you a sense... More
