Historic Brattonsville Here We Come!

The weather was perfect as we traveled back in time...two hundred and thirty-five years to be exact to the Revolutionary War.  We found ourselves on Colonel Bratton's homestead complete with a militiaman, the colonel's wife, a slave girl, and a housekeeper all waiting to tell us their stories. 

We saw barns with livestock, tools, kitchens, a one-room school house and walked on miles of trails  through the woods. As we walked we got a glimpse of what life might have been like back then as we fought for what we believed to be right...patriot or loyalist in this new land.

might have been like for our ancestors back then. 

Stay tuned for student artwork and descriptions of their personal highlights from our trip...
