In honor of our 50th anniversary of being open to the public, Drayton Hall Preservation Trust is delighted to welcome guests on select days—free of charge.

Step back in time with colonial games and demonstrations, meet our archaeologists and explore remarkable discoveries, and visit our current excavation site—an extraordinary late 1600s well. Guests will also enjoy the sweeping landscape, grand oaks, and scenic river views.

As part of this milestone celebration, visitors can also meet our preservation team and learn about the ongoing preservation work on the iconic Great Hall ceiling.

These Free Days are made possible through the generosity of The Decorative Arts Trust, Ben and Cindy Lenhardt, and private donors. Pre-registration is required and space is limited.

Join us as we celebrate 50 years of history, discovery, and community at Drayton Hall.

These exciting free days will take place on:

December 20, 2025 – SOLD OUT
