Brattonsville


I went to historic brattonsville sc and we saw how the early settlers live.
At first we saw the early huts of the settlers and it was interesting. They lived in little mud huts that had two beds and a kitchen inside and a family of 7 wuld live in one of them for ten to eleven years untill the son coulde builde another house.
Then we saw the next generaton of houses, they were two storys and the house was much better inside than the first ones. Then we went to the tavern and saw what it looked like on the in side it had a kitchen a bedroom and a schoolhouse in it. Then we went to the big house and it had three storys and a ball room. Then we saw the slave houses and the gin house where the cotton gin was.  One of the actors there told us how they raised flax for making cloth instead of cotton before the cotton gin was invented.  It was a worthwhile stop on the way home from camp.
