BY THE SWEAT OF OUR BROWS 

Saturday, September 12, 2026 10:00 am - 4:00 pm


In honor of the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution, this living history event centers on the experience of enslaved people of African descent during the war.  The story of liberty in the Brattonsville community took root in many ways during this period, and it's legacy is still evident in current generations of descendants.  Activities will include special presentations, site tours, living history demonstrations and opportunities to meet descendants of the Bratton family and those enslaved on the Bratton Planation.  Families are encouraged to attend.


Concessions will be available for purchase.

Brattonsville Road will be closed from 8:30 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.  Please follow the detour.  Parking will be in the Visitor Center parking lot.
