Georgia Frontier Days April 28, 2011

Believe it or not, there was once a time when Georgia was America 's western frontier! Go on a journey through hundreds of years of history with live demonstrations of pre-Revolutionary times, the pioneer era and the Civil War. Meet De Soto's explorers and learn what they encountered here in the 1500's. Have a chat with Governor James Oglethorpe, founder of the Georgia colony. See a cavalry unit with horses in action, learn about weaponry, war strategy, battlefield medicine, frontier skills, cooking, music, clothing of the time period and much more. This annual event takes place at the Antebellum Plantation.
