This year marks 160 years since the end of the American Civil War. While men folk were off to the war, women, children, and the elderly were fighting their own back home. Join us as our interpretive staff along with other living historians tell the stories of life on the home front in the Wiregrass region of Georgia at the close of the war.
Smell the aroma of parched sweet potato coffee, learn how to make Johnny cake, and watch as salt is boiled from ash and soot off the smokehouse floor; all things that people back home had to do as a result of the war.
