Pioneer Day at the Colbert Ferry Visitor Center October 3, 2009

The Tombigbee Pioneer Group will perform living history demonstrations that show the challenges faced and creative solutions developed by those Americans who lived in the area from the 1700s to 1840. The public is invited to watch pioneer lifestyle activities that often include corn-shuck doll making, basket weaving, leatherworking, and mountain dulcimer demonstrations. Children are invited to participate by dressing up in pioneer clothes and trying these activities firsthand.
