Memorial Day at Historic Brownsville

Join historical interpreters in an 1870's wreath laying ceremony. Discover the origins of Memorial Day, a holiday created after the tumultuous years of the American Civil War.

Historic Brattonsville features over thirty colonial and antebellum structures, including two house museums. The plantation spreads over 778-acres and includes farmed land with heritage breed animals, a Revolutionary War battlefield site with interpretive trail, and a nature preserve with miles of walking trails. Seasonal events, reenactments, and living history programs interpret life in the Carolina Backcountry from the 1750s to the 1870s. http://chmuseums.org/brattonsville/
