DONATE NOW TO DOUBLE YOUR IMPACT
Drayton Hall Preservation Trust is pleased to announce a most exciting spring development for the preservation of this important site and the progress of our mission.
As we celebrate National Historic Preservation Month, we cannot help but reflect on the impact you have made with Drayton Hall Preservation Trust. Without you, it would be impossible to protect and preserve Drayton Hall’s Palladian architecture, diverse collections, historic landscapes, and Ashley River views. Thank you for ensuring that these treasures will continue inspiring visitors for generations to come.
Your past support has furthered our understanding of the Drayton family’s material world and the conditions faced by the free and enslaved people who lived and worked both in the House and across the site. This spring—thanks to the generosity of Deborah and Peter Wexler—you have the power to double your impact on our preservation and research efforts. As we prepare to launch an archaeological investigation in search of the enslaved community at Drayton Hall, the Wexlers have agreed to match your contributions dollar for dollar through June 30, 2021. Make a gift today to take advantage of this extraordinary opportunity. Your donation will preserve our potential for discovery and reveal stories that have remained hidden for generations.
