Learn Georgia's History - Sunday, September 14
Come to Northeast Georgia History Center on Sunday, September 14. From 1:00pm to 4:00pm, NEGAHC will present an interactive exhibit on Georgia's Civil War Soldiers. This great family event will be both insightful and a can't miss event!
In recognition of the 150th anniversary of the Civil War, the September Family Day will remember Georgia’s Civil War Soldiers and Those They Left Behind.
Area living history interpreters will present interactive programs on soldiers’ day-to-day lives, both on the battlefields and in-between conflicts. Their demonstrations will include weaponry, drilling, setting up camp, and more. Visitors will have the opportunity to drill as did Civil War soldiers, both Blue and Gray. Samples of 1860’s campfire foods will be available.
You may also learn about the role of the Confederate Navy from Ken Johnston, director of the National Civil War Naval Museum at Port Columbus, and make a Civil War ironclad as one of the hands-on activities.
The Mission of the Northeast Georgia History Center at Brenau University is to preserve and share the history of northeast Georgia.
