Historical Note

Scope and Content Note

This collection consists of records relating to Friends of Historic Brattonsville which exists as a nonprofit organization aimed to provide support to Historic Brattonsville, located in York County, South Carolina, which is “a living history farm presenting the history of the Scots-Irish and African-Americans in the South Carolina upcountry largely through preserving and interpreting the story of the Bratton family.” The collection also contains records relating to the governing historical bodies of York County including the York County Historical Commission (YCHC). The collection itself is organized in the original order maintained by the donor and spans from the original charter granted in 1983 through 2001.

It begins in September of 1996 and continues through December of 1997. The second binder refers mostly to the Friends of Historic Brattonsville (FoHB) by way of minutes/agendas, bylaws/charter, tax/financial records, and general correspondence.
