The Charleston, South Carolina area is a great place to live or have a vacation home. The weather is great, the beaches are fantastic, golf courses are abundant, there are many historical sites, the architecture is unbelievable, the dining is unbeatable, and the people are the friendliest in the country. It is because of these reasons that I believe Charleston SC Real Estate is truly unique. I look forward to helping you with any of your real estate needs in Charleston, Berkeley, or Dorchester counties. Today’s article is titled:
Explore African American History at Drayton Hall
Drayton Hall located in the West Ashley neighborhood of Charleston South Carolina offers a unique opportunity to learn about African American history.
You must see the interactive presentation “Connections: From Africa to America”, which details African American history from the time of slavery through today. The program focuses on the connections and contributions of African Americans to American and Lowcountry culture.
The African American History Walking Tour will teach you about the development of the African slave trade and the formation of the Gullah culture. Discover the role African Americans played in developing Charleston from the wealth their labor produced to the decorative architectural details wrought by their skilled hands. Learn about the free black population that existed prior to emancipation. Learn about the era of segregation, along with the cilvil rights movement.
Visit Drayton Hall’s African American Cemetery known as the “Sacred Place”, the final resting place of many of the African Americans who lived and worked at Drayton Hall. There are 33 graves here.
Drayton Hall is located 9 miles northwest of downtown Historic Charleston on Highway 61. Drayton Hall is open daily except for major holidays. For additional information call 843-737-0654, or visit http://www.draytonhall.org
