Lexington County Peach Festival
Lexington County will be celebrating freedom and peaches on the Fourth of July in Gilbert. This past spring South Carolina’s peach crop experienced a major set-back with a late cold snap. Many of South Carolina’s peaches did not make it through the spring cold snap. But, in Gilbert Lexington County residents will be going on as planned by celebrating freedom and peaches.
Make a visit out to Gilbert to support our local farmers. Visit these web sites for more information:
Historic Brattonsville
Brattonsville is located in lower York County near the town of McConnells. According to their website Historic Brattonsville is,
“a 775-acre historic site that includes a Revolutionary War battlefield. Each July a two-day event commemorating the Battle of Huck’s Defeat (a revolutionary war skirmish) is recreated near its original battlefield site. The site features more than 30 historic structures, which may be toured and are also used during living history programs where costumed-interpreters relive the past by demonstrating a variety of programs.”
Brattonsville is well worth a visit. You can visit several of its historic buildings and even their gift shop. They conduct several programs throughout the year for the entire family.
This historic site was used during the making of the Patriot. Visit their website for more information and also take a look at our picture gallery for pictures of Historic Brattonsville.
