"By The Sweat of Our Brows"

Come join us as we honor the rich legacy of the Bratton family's slaves and their descendants, who today are known as "the Seven Sacred Families," with our annual event "By the Sweat of Our Brows."

The Seven Sacred Families will also be in attendance to share the day's event and to tell their personal family stories. Powerful theatrical presentations, a church choir performance and hands-on activities will help guide visitors through the experience and history of Historic Brattonsville. At the end of the day's event, descendants will come together where many of them will be on hand for the traditional calling out of the names of their ancestors.

Admission for adults is $8; seniors for $7; children from 4 to 17 years old for $5; CHM members and kids ages 3 years old and younger for free.
