The Junior Docent Program allows young people in fifth through twelfth grade to volunteer in period costume at Historic Brattonsville.

• Learn historic skills to demonstrate at Historic Brattonsville, such as hoeing, weeding, planting, spinning, hearth cooking, woodworking, and sewing
• Provide educational activities for children and youth who visit Historic Brattonsville
• Show visitors what life was like for South Carolina children in the 1760s – 1780s & the 1840s

NOTE: Space in the program is limited, so the application process is competitive. Students apply through a written application, letter of reference, and a group interview. For more information, please contact Lisa Swetnam, lswetnam@chmuseums.org
