Christmas Candlelight Tours

This year’s annual Christmas Candlelight Tours at Historic Brattonsville portray how the people of the Carolina Piedmont celebrated the holiday season during the days of the American Revolution.

Historically dressed interpreters guide guests on sitewide tours for a glimpse into the Christmas of 1780. In addition to the tours’ scripted scenarios, the holiday event is enriched with a brass band and fiddle music, fun make-and-take activities and unique gift shopping opportunities featuring traditional glass-blown goods, pottery and sweetgrass baskets.

Concessions will be available. Special event admission: tickets are limited for timed tours; must be reserved in advance; limited walk ups. Please note the Dec. 13 event is for CHM members only. Dec. 14 and Dec.15 are open to everyone.
