Join us for a rare, behind-the-scenes Hard Hat Tour of the intricate plaster ceiling rehabilitation project underway inside Drayton Hall’s iconic Great Hall. This exclusive tour offers an up-close look at the craftsmanship, conservation techniques, and historical research guiding this ambitious preservation project.
Led by Drayton Hall’s Director of Preservation & Archives, Trish Smith, guests will step inside the active work zone to see how centuries-old materials are being stabilized, repaired, and renewed. Learn about the ceiling’s original construction, the clues it holds about 18th-century craftsmanship, and the cutting-edge methods being used to ensure its longevity.
