Battle of Huck's Defeat

This year’s annual reenactment of the Battle of Huck’s Defeat will focus on Capt. Christian Huck and his motivation for terrorizing the Carolina backcountry.

Featuring over 150 reenactors, including the New Acquisition Militia, Helyar’s Company of the 7th, and the 64th Regiment of Foot, the event at Brattonsville will bring this pivotal American Revolutionary skirmish to life.

The two-day educational and entertaining event is family friendly. In addition to three battle reenactments, activities include 18th-century music and dancing, cavalry weapons demonstrations, a uniform lecture and a kid’s militia drill. The Sons of the American Revolution will present a memorial wreath-laying ceremony, and there will be an 18th-century worship service on Sunday at 11 a.m. in the Oak Grove.

Food and refreshments will be available for purchase from the Friends of Historic Brattonsville.
