For most non-profits, building up and sustaining an engaged group of members is something that takes years of planning and hard work. Sometimes these programs work, sometimes they fall flat. But as I look back over Drayton Hall’s 30-year-old Friends program, it seems that you’ve always been there, encouraging our work and supporting us in ways most non-profits only

dream of. In the mid-1990s when our land across the river was threatened by condo developments, Friends stepped forward from across the country and enabled us to buy the land and to stop the threat. In every instance that I can recall when the paint, plaster, or structural systems of the main house needed conservation and repairs, Friends have risen to the challenge and responded to our appeals generously. In the early 2000s it was Friends, led by Parker and Gail Gilbert, who funded the Landscape Master Plan and over the last decade, have enabled us to implement its recommendations. Just last year you helped us raise over $300,000 in a little over two months, to repay into our endowment the funds we had to use to purchase the George Edwards Watercolors for our collection.

For our part, we continue to work hard to improve our house tours, and to uncover new and important information about this remarkable place and the people that lived here, helping to attract more first-time visitors with each passing year. Thanks to the Landscape Master Plan, the grounds now look better than they have in decades. For the last several years we have also enhanced our school programs so they are now attracting nearly 12,000 students a year. But our work at Drayton Hall is never completely finished. At a site as dynamic as Drayton Hall, once one project is successfully wrapped up, another one comes along that must be addressed.

Perhaps better than any group of people, Drayton Hall’s Friends understand all the hard work that goes into sustaining its preservation and education programs. To preserve something, to maintain it in a way that ensures its survival for decades to come, is never-ending work. We must be constantly on alert in order to keep the house in a state of preservation that will allow new generations of Friends to enjoy it and learn from it. In reflecting over the past thirty years of our Friends program, I am amazed at what we’ve accomplished and look forward to seeing what the next thirty years has in store for us.

Happy Anniversary!

W hen Charles Drayton, the second owner of Drayton Hall, made an entry in his plantation diary in 1792 concerning the blooming status

of his hyacinth bulbs, he probably never realized how important these entries would be to scholars and garden enthusiasts over two hundred years later. These rich journals, kept annually from 1784-1820, allow us to create demonstration gardens to illustrate the botanical world Charles lived in two centuries prior.

recently, Drayton Hall staff and interns have been reading, transcribing, and researching Charles’ writings, book subscriptions, library content, and social interactions between him and his peer group associated with the natural and botanical world of the 18th and early 19th centuries. This information has allowed us to cultivate a small demonstration garden of flower bulbs that would have been available to Charles and to showcase the

botanical world that Charles and his contemporaries enjoyed.

In the fall of 2011, the Drayton Hall horticulture staff planted 1300 bulbs of assorted daffodils, tulips, crocuses, squills, and hyacinth. Theses species of plants were included based upon their inclusion in Charles Drayton’s diaries and botanical publications issued before and during the time Charles and his children lived at Drayton Hall. This year we were able to purchase 13 different species of bulbs; among them roman Hyacinth, Florentine Tulip, and Mammoth Crocus. Since some are now hard to find, we contacted specialists to acquire rare bulbs from as far afield as Holland and Israel. These bulbs began flowering in late January 2012; some will continue to bloom through spring. In the future, we hope to make additions to the plantings through our ongoing research and to uncover new and exciting information to share.

Sometime in 1982 or 1983, a list was prepared with 303 names and addresses. A good number of the names are familiar—many Draytons, one robert E. Lee Barker—but many are not. The people on the list come from as close as Charleston and as far away as new york, Illinois, and California. They seem to be listed in no particular order—not alphabetically, not by state. It’s only a faded header at the top of each typed page that explains what brings this group of people together. They are the individuals, couples, and organizations that donated $25 to join a fledgling organization called The Friends of Drayton Hall. This year marks the 30th anniversary of its founding, and Drayton Hall would like to salute all those who have stepped up over the past three decades to play a part in Drayton Hall’s mission of preservation and education.

While Drayton Hall’s interpreters had invited visitors to become members of the national Trust for Historic Preservation ever since the site opened to the public in 1977, it wasn’t until 1982 that visitors could choose to directly support Drayton Hall. Drayton Hall’s second director, Letitia Galbraith Machado, founded the Friends organization to provide Drayton Hall with unrestricted support—to keep the lights on, to ensure the driveway was graded, and to allow guides to give tours as more and more people heard about the magnificent Palladian house along the Ashley river.

And while much has changed—over 7,000 people count themselves as Friends today—much has stayed the same, including the reason many people become members. Mrs. Machado, who worked here from 1982 until 1989 and who saw the organization grow from just a few hundred people to over 1,500, believes that the rapid growth in the number of Friends was due to “the guides’ fabulous tours and the

interpretation of Drayton Hall—how you could look at a building as a work of art, as an artifact. That approach was so different.” By the end of the tour, she explained, “you would realize that you had never before thought about a house in the same way.” nancy ryan Huggins, who ran the gift shop in the 1980s and 90s, adds another reason: “[People] were in awe of the building and what we were trying to do there. It was so easy to sell memberships because people were convinced that Drayton Hall needed to be saved.” While membership benefits—discounts at the shop, parties, concerts, lectures, and the ability to bring guests to Drayton Hall—were important to people who lived near Charleston, just as many people who became friends were from “ohio, Mississippi, and new England. They might not come back for two or three years. They just believed in saving this place.”

of course, for many years one of the most visible and beloved benefits of becoming a Friend has been the Drayton Hall rice spoon. Bob Barker, who has worked at Drayton Hall since it first opened to the public, has always carried a spoon on tour. At first, it was a silver serving spoon in the nellie Custis pattern, which he used to point out architectural features of the house, just as he does today. Soon thereafter, Director Machado decided that Drayton Hall should give something to visitors who became members. According to Mr. Barker, “we tried candle snuffers and a small spoon the Trust offered” before settling on the rice spoon. visitors “weren’t familiar with rice or dressing spoons,” explained Mrs. Machado. “It wasn’t something you could get in stainless steel. It was a traditional item in silver chests, a wonderful thing from the South.” The spoon also has the symbolic connection to the Drayton family’s role in rice cultivation and though each spoon is not an heirloom, it continues to be valuable to members because it provides

Not only have Friends helped us actively preserve Drayton Hall’s bricks and mortar, historic land-scape, and collections, but they have also advocated for the preser-vation of Drayton Hall’s environs.

When asked about the preserva-tion projects at the house that he is most proud of, Harlan Greene, one of the original Friends, said “Those that have preserved the house’s structural integrity with-out drawing attention to them-selves…like valiant workers who do their jobs and then modestly withdraw without fanfare.”

spoon as gift or discipline?

For as long as interpreters have car-ried a rice spoon, visitors have asked about its purpose far before interpreters have explained its connection to the Friends of Drayton Hall. Many guides and visitors have suggested the spoon might be a good way to maintain control over unruly guests, and as it turns out, there may be a kernel of truth to this story. When asked about it, Bob Barker laughed. “If we snuck into the kitchen when we were little, our cook, Ethel would give us a whack with a spoon, and then a cookie. Mother didn’t know about the cookie.” Mrs. Machado remembers a cousin, who would punish misbehaving children (he had eight) at the dinner table, with a tap on the head by a rice spoon. Every interpreter who has worked at Drayton Hall has received at least part of their training from Bob, and maybe that’s why so many smile and pop an invisible guest on the head with their spoon when asked early on in a tour why they carry it.

six months before Hurricane Hugo damaged over 70% of the trees on site—and reflected on being greeted by richmond Bowens. Mr. Huber wrote that it was “thrilling to listen to a few of his personal accounts of the home and the Drayton/Bowens family history.” This, in turn, inspired three other friends to post their remembrances of Mr. Bowens. The ability to connect with members has been and continues to be paramount to the success of the Friends organization, but the way in which we connect is constantly evolving.

So what is in store for Friends in the next decade, or even the next century? Charles Drayton, who together with his brother Frank made the difficult decision to sell Drayton Hall to the national Trust for Historic Preservation in 1974, and who in 1982 became one of the original Friends,

as they occur. During our annual “cleaning week” this February, staff members new and old—including Ashley Darland and Casey Euart, who joined Drayton Hall this year, along with raymond nesmith who has worked in the Preservation Department for over 25 years—posted pictures of each other cleaning the shutters of the main house and installing wood duck nesting boxes at one of the ponds. These pictures sparked a Facebook discussion on cleaning historic houses, including recommendations to use dental picks.

Another Facebook friend, randy Huber, posted pictures from his March 1989 visit to Drayton Hall—just

a very special reminder of their connection with Drayton Hall.

Another important part of membership has been this very newsletter, which Mrs. Machado began publishing during her tenure and which she named Interiors. Also contributing to this build-up of the Friends organization were Bill Fudge and assistant director George neil, who worked at Drayton Hall from 1986 until 1996, and under whose direction several thousand more people became members. Mr. neil also initiated the popular Friends Fall Lecture Series, which ran for many years.

Today, Friends also rely on Drayton Hall’s website, our blog, and even our Facebook page to stay connected. Just this past February, Drayton Hall reached 1,500 “friends” on Facebook. Here Drayton Hall can post quick announcements or progress updates

frames his hopes in terms of Drayton Hall’s as-of-yet untold stories. He speaks of Drayton Hall’s remarkable collection—specifically the furniture collection—and of the potential to exhibit it in a future interpretive center. raising the funds for such a facility is the “next big challenge and the next big opportunity” for Friends because it will enable a more complete story to be told, one that engages so many more interests than our present venue allows. As a result, members who have loved Drayton Hall for what they have learned thus far will discover new ways and new reasons to love it.

In fact, while it’s been years since Charlie Drayton and “Tish” Machado

have spoken, they unknowingly echoed each other when they explained why they feel certain that the Friends of Drayton Hall will continue to grow and help the site prosper. In separate interviews, both concluded by saying, “Drayton Hall’s story is not just about Charleston, not just about the South. It’s about our nation.”

charles Drayton’s favorite Friends event: Dinner in the houseFor Charles Drayton, the Friends event that stands out most in his memory occurred last spring. Friends gathered for dinner in the house to celebrate the purchase of the 18th-century George Edwards watercolors thanks to a lead-ership gift from Friends Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin Lenhardt and donations from other members. “It was quite an occa-sion. I don’t ever recall going to a seated dinner at Dray-ton Hall. It might have been the first, not just since the beginning of the Friends of Drayton Hall, but this century because the family didn’t live there after 1905-1910.”

Do you remember?If you’re a longtime member, how many of these past events are among your favorites?

• 1983: Halloween Party. According to former director Le-titia Galbraith Machado: “Friends brought their children and we told ghost stories. richmond Bowens told his story about the will o’ the wisp, which really was scary!”

• 1985: A “spirited croquet competition” with “courts for beginners, intermediates, and ‘cut-throats.’”

• 1988: Drayton Hall began the celebration of its 250th anniversary with a “Starlight Swing” dance held on the grounds.

• 1989: “rice Culture in the Carolina Lowcountry” lecture by Dr. richard Porcher

• 1991: “uncovering new Clues about Drayton Hall” lecture by Dr. Frank Matero

• 1992: “18th-century Decorative Arts (or How Drayton Hall Might Have Been Furnished) lecture by Tom Savage

• 1996: reception to celebrate the purchase of “The Land Across the river”

Although we’re open to the public, very few people are allowed past the ropes and up the narrow winding staircase that leads to our attic. In recent weeks, this little-used space received a thorough cleaning, which removed enough dirt and rubble to fill four 32-gal-lon trash cans and eleven Shop-vac bags. Imagine how many trips it took to carry that much debris down the small spiral staircase one bucket at a time! All of that hard work paid off, however, because we can now see the wood frame of the house more clearly, which is an excellent tool for studying our Georgian-Palladian masterpiece.

During the 17th and 18th centuries, builders used a practice during construction commonly called “scribe rule.” In this method, the carpenter began by laying out the wooden framing members on the ground in order to mortise and tenon the joints together, and then labeling each intersecting member of a joint with roman numerals. All of the joints in the frame were given a unique number so that the frame could be reassembled on site exactly as it had been laid out in the carpenter’s building yard. In the picture, you can see where the carpenter marked each timber in the joint with the roman numerals xII. Marks like these are important to us now, because they help us identify original members of the house’s timber frame.

After a decade of use, Drayton Hall’s furniture storage building is being upgraded! Built in the late 1990s, it was at the time an energy-efficient, cost-effective, and technologically innovative solution to the shortage of space for our Museum Collection. In accordance with Drayton Hall’s Collections Initiative, and through financial support from the Historic Sites Fund of the national Trust, the storage building is now being reorganized to allow the Museum Collection, currently housed in various locations, to be consolidated, re-housed, and made more easily accessible for study and maintenance.

During the reorganization, Project Assistant Joseph “Joe” Mester oversaw the relocation of the furniture to ensure its safety as the work in the building began. The next step in the process was to install new shelving units according to a floor plan designed by Preservation Technician Patricia “Trish” Smith. Additional storage furniture included two new museum specimen cabinets, which will house small objects. The Museum Collection will greatly benefit from the new arrangement as each object will have its own “home” where it can be viewed with the least amount of disturbance. This new arrangement and storage furniture will provide a safe and secure home for the many precious objects that com-prise the Drayton Hall Museum Collection, such as the sofa shown to the right. This will help our staff with maintenance and repair issues as well as scholars and others who study the many wonderful pieces in our collection.

o n April 13th and 14th 2012, Drayton Hall will co-host an inaugural symposium on the development of American architecture and design, focusing on the prominent role played by Charleston architects and patrons. Titled

VITRUVIANA in honor of vitruvius (c. 80 -15 BC), the author of De architectura, the only major book on architecture to survive from classical antiquity, the symposium will begin on the 13th in downtown Charleston with a full day of lectures at the Circular Congregational Church and an evening cocktail reception at the Charleston Library Society. This will be followed on the 14th with an optional guided bus tour exploring parish churches of the Lowcountry, including old St. Andrews Parish Church (1706), St. Thomas and St. Denis Church (1706), Pompion Hill Chapel (1763-1765), Strawberry Chapel (1725), and St. James Parish Church (1768).

Friends of Drayton Hall will find the symposium of particular interest as Drayton Hall’s Director of Education and Preservation, Dr. Carter Hudgins, will explore the roots of Drayton Hall’s design in relation to the legacy of renaissance architect Andrea Palladio (1508-1580). Acknowledged as the most influential individual in the history of western architecture, Palladio was heavily influenced by vitruvius and adopted the principles of classical architecture to construct palaces, churches, and villas throughout Italy’s veneto. In 1570, Palladio published Quattro Libri dell’Architettura (The Four Books of Architecture), and the designs within spread across Europe and to north America. Today, Drayton Hall is regarded as the first fully executed Palladian domestic structure in north America and an icon of colonial architecture and design.

Jim was in private practice with Robert and Co. as a landscape architect, and also taught at Georgia State University, where he was popular with students and respected by his peers. Jim’s work will be reflected in countless ways in the years to come as his efforts and that of his colleagues helped to shape Drayton Hall’s site master plan, which was unanimously approved by our site council last December.

charleston’s cruise ship Debate. Since 1738, Drayton Hall has been, and still is, an integral part of the city of Charleston. In recent years, there has been growing concern about the size and increase in the number of cruise ships docking in downtown Charleston and the associated pollution, traffic, and congestion. In June 2011, the National Trust designated the city as a National Treasure and added it to its new “Watch” list of potentially endangered places in America. Since that designation, the Trust has acted behind the scenes to provide legal advice as well as financial assistance for an economic study commissioned by the Historic Charleston Foundation. While win-win solutions have proved elusive, it is still hoped that they may be found. Read more about the issue here:

https://trustnet.nationaltrust.org/networking/sightlines/SightlinesBlog/Lists/Posts/Post.aspx?ID=368http://historiccharleston.org/news_events/pdf/HCF_CruiseReport.pdfhttp://www.postandcourier.com/news/2012/feb/09/report-on-cruise-industryshould-open-the-citys/

In December of 2011, Drayton Hall engaged The rev. David randell Boone, Ph.D., of Hendersonville, north Carolina, to become its new Director of Development. The hiring decision was made at the conclusion of an extended nationwide search.

Boone served for nearly five years as the Director of Institutional Advancement for Kanuga Conferences, Inc., an Episcopal center on the national register of Historic Places. Prior to that, he was development officer for The Hill School in Middleburg,

virginia, The Cathedral College at Washington national Cathedral, and served for twenty years in positions of pastoral leadership with congregations of the Presbyterian Church (u.S.A.).

randy’s career has evolved like that of many pastors who develop prodigious fundraising skills within their faith community and then go on to apply them in the non-profit world. In 2001, inspired by a successful capital campaign that he designed and led as the pastor of an historic church in Chicago, randy made the official move from the pastorate into professional fundraising.

A native Texan, randy holds graduate degrees from vanderbilt university and a certificate in fundraising management from DePaul university. An avid sailor, randy is thrilled to be living near blue water again and hopes to become familiar with all the incredible waterways in the Lowcountry. He is a devotee of dancing to classic jazz arrangements from the American Songbook, and is an avid proponent of genealogy as a tool for understanding and interpreting history. He has one child, Kathlene Boone, who is married and works as an editor in Baton rouge.

reflecting on fundraising challenges that lie ahead at Drayton Hall, randy says, “Drayton Hall is poised to continue to improve its yearly membership enrollment and to merit generous philanthropic support from friends, corporations, and foundations across the nation for its annual, capital, and endowment needs. This is due in no small measure to the work of my recent predecessors in Development: Jessica Garrett, Monte Parsons Gaillard, Jennifer richard, Emily Pack, and Courtney Bates. Adding to these efforts, Drayton Hall’s role as an historic site of the national Trust for Historic Preservation is an asset that can underscore its credibility and accountability in our community. Finally, and perhaps most importantly, the spirit of teamwork and cooperation that George McDaniel and Chairman Tony Wood have cultivated among our Site Council members, staff, guides, and volunteers, puts Drayton Hall among the best nonprofit workplaces anywhere. I am grateful, hopeful, and proud to be at Drayton Hall and expect great results as our leaders and many loyal Friends work together to advance its mission.”

In the 1750s, the young Drayton children were likely playing draughts and tossing quoits on the garden lawn of Drayton Hall. Today, our young visitors learn about history while enjoying some of the same activities or by using their computers to play our new interactive games on the Drayton Hall website.

Drayton Hall educators developed a series of mind-testing picture puzzles and a game that challenges one’s ability to get a sloop of rice to market. Then, teachers from Drayton Hall Elementary School reviewed the games with their students and offered helpful comments and suggestions. While the games and activities are designed for children in elementary, middle, and high school, our staff has had a great time trying to solve the picture puzzles and navigate the sloop down the Ashley river.

Funding for this project was provided by the Interpretation and Education Fund of

the national Trust for Historic Preservation and the national Endowment for the Humanities.
