Candlelight Tours

December 16, 2023

Create a very special historic memory this year in Charleston, SC. Take a candlelight tour of Charleston, SC’s historic estate, Drayton Hall circa 1738.

Beautiful and moving, this eighteenth-century historic house is the oldest untouched home open to the public in the United States. Experience Drayton Hall at night with these incredibly special candlelight experiences. This is a remarkable way to understand the house and the lives which touched it – and historic Charleston –  from the perspective of a preserved colonial home.

After your tour, we invite you to enjoy a warm cup of a seasonal beverage (non-alcoholic) as you stroll back toward the Visitors Center and visit The Shop at Drayton Hall.

On select dates, Drayton Hall will be open for these reservation-only Candlelight Tours to a limited number of guests on the dates below.

Can’t make these dates? Ask about our private candlelight tours, email Emily at EHendrix@Draytonhall.org.
