Last Saturday, we took a trip to Historic Brattonsville to watch hog butchering as it was done in the late 1700's to early 1800's. The volunteers were dressed in clothing of the period.
Historic Brattonsville is a 775-acre Revolutionary War living history site.
This place is pretty large( More then 30 historic structures sit on 775 acres and chronicle the development of the region through the 1840s. We did not view the other structures, mainly just hung out around the butchering site. Here are some of the photos of the cooking, ladies carding yarn, making lye soap and inside the houses.
