About

Students will learn about the American Revolution in the Lowcountry and the significant role Drayton Hall played as a headquarters for both British and American forces during the war. Students will learn about leaders like William Henry Drayton, Francis Marion, and the common soldiers of the British and Continental armies. These soldiers camped at Drayton Hall as part of the campaigns for Charleston. Additionally, students will learn how the Revolution affected people in South Carolina, from plantation owner John Drayton, his young wife Rebecca, and an enslaved man who escaped to freedom. Interactive stations include uniforms, marching drills, camp life, and the experience of enslaved people.

A student house tour may be added to any of the above-listed educational program offerings for a discounted rate of $8.00/student.
