Hog Butchering Day

Historic Brattonsville will demonstrate the importance of this tradition on January 14th from 10:00-4:00. Interpreters in period dress will show how the hogs were butchered and processed and will explain why this practice was crucial for the survival of 18th Century colonists in the region. Watching the full process, then seeing how the food would have been prepared using backcountry cooking methods will make you appreciate modern cooking methods even more.
