Established in 1738, Drayton Hall was the residence of the Drayton family and approximately 45-60 enslaved people. It served as the headquarters for an expansive agricultural corporation that was dependent on the labor of enslaved people working at over 100 plantations across over 76,000 acres. We interpret the lives of John Drayton and his descendants alongside individual stories of some of the enslaved people who built Drayton Hall as well as the wealth that created it. Interpreters at Drayton Hall are trained to tell these stories and are responsible for leading tours that thoughtfully explore the site’s history, context, and culture.
