In 1843, 139 enslaved people lived on the Bratton plantation. Our historic interpreters will explore the contributions they made to the Carolina Piedmont in general and the Bratton plantation specifically. Find out how the cotton crop shaped daily life, take a visual tour of the plantation house from the perspective of the enslaved, and find out more about the highly-skilled enslaved blacksmith and seamstress who lived there, too. We are also excited to present an interview with our Historic Preservationist, who will discuss our current projects to preserve the enslaved spaces at Historic Brattonsville.
