Highlights and Updates from the North Flanker Excavation

Join Drayton Hall for a fascinating archaeology webinar led by Staff Archaeologist Nicole Houck. Explore the results of our recent excavation of the north flanker and surrounding grounds, where over 15,000 historic artifacts were uncovered. These findings reveal new insights into the Drayton family, early colonial settlers, and Native American history on the site.
This engaging presentation will highlight key discoveries, including never-before-seen artifacts and evidence of earlier occupations that predate the Drayton era. Learn what our archaeology team is currently researching and how these findings help tell a more complete story of the Lowcountry’s past.
Don’t miss this unique opportunity to dive deeper into the layers of Drayton Hall’s rich and complex history.
