The 800-acre Carolina back-country Brattonsville Plantation has new spring lambs and an assortment of
heritage breed animals! The Gulf Coast sheep will be getting an 18th-century style shearing on May 11.
There will be demonstrations on the many processes of turning raw wool into finished textiles. Period-
dressed interpreters will be busy sorting the wool, cleaning it, carding, spinning, dyeing, weaving and
sewing throughout the day. In addition, there will be other furry farm animals available for petting!
For more information, please see the website.
May 11 from 10 AM to 4 PM
