Travel Back in Time at Historic Brattonsville!
Volunteers are needed to help deep dive into history in a way a normal site tour cannot provide. Having volunteers on site dressed in 18th and 19th century clothes performing historically accurate activities provides an immersive experience like jumping back into time!
Volunteers gain skills and knowledge not normally seen today such as blacksmithing, weaving, carpentry, hearth cooking, and gardening!
Volunteers are needed Tuesday-Saturday from 9:30 a.m. - 4 p.m. We are looking for volunteers that are available for the full day or half day shifts once or twice a month.
*We also offer four Special Events and Specialized Living History Saturdays throughout the year that need extra help in other areas such as concessions and admissions.
This is a perfect opportunity for history majors, education majors, theater majors, or anyone who enjoys having fun and learning new skills.
Historic Brattonsville is an 800-acre open-air museum that discusses the lives of the family and community surrounding the historic buildings and experiences from 1780-1871. Living History Interpreters provide extra knowledge and activities for an immersive experience! The site includes a barnyard with animals and hiking/biking trails.
The mission of Historic Brattonsville is to preserve and present the history of the Carolina Piedmont and this Revolutionary War site as portrayed through the structures, landscape, and stories of the Brattonsville community.
Through award-winning programs such as Christmas Candlelight Tour and the Battle of Huck’s Defeat, Historic Brattonsville tells the story of its location from pre-Revolutionary War days, through the Civil War and antebellum period. Area residents are descended from the original settlers and enslaved African Americans, and some participate as historic interpreters at the site.
