Historic Brattonsville Homeschool Saturdays: Surviving in the Past

If you lived here long ago, you couldn’t take your survival for granted. Today we watch TV shows about survivors in faraway, exotic places, but back then, you would be the survivor here at home. Join us and find out what it took to stay alive in the Carolina Backcountry in the 1780s and 1840s. Schedule is subject to change.

The Programs

Family Chores
Saturday, October 9, 2010

Participate in various chores of the Carolina Backcountry through hands-on activities such as farming, candle making, woodworking, laundry, soap making, and open hearth cooking. Step back in time as costumed interpreters bring to life the 18th and 19th centuries.

Hearth to Table
Saturday & Sunday, November 26-27, 2010

Historic Brattonsville invites you to examine the role food played in people’s lives. Travel through the 18th and 19th centuries and see how different people prepared and consumed their foods, from the earliest colonists in the 1760’s, to the slaves and wealthy planter in the 1840’s. Join us and experience the preparation, cooking and ceremony behind the food we all take for granted. Enjoy hands-on activities for the whole family.
