Children's Day on the Farm
to
Historic Brattonsville 1444 Brattonsville Road, McConnells, South Carolina 29726
Embrace the agricultural heritage of the Carolina Piedmont during “Children’s Day on the Farm.” It’s time to plow the fields and get immersed in farm chores and play. Historic Brattonsville’s 800-acre living history plantation has newborn lambs and other heritage breed animals that need tending to. Hands-on activities include candle-dipping, butter churning and pony rides. Ongoing demonstrations feature traditional textile arts from the cotton gin to indigo dying, historical cooking on open hearths and blacksmithing out in the forge. New this year will be "Signora Bella, the Great Italian Equilibrist,” an 18th century-style traveling performer.
