Children's Heritage Days at Foxfire

The Foxfire Museum and Heritage Center presents Children's Heritage Days this summer on Saturday, June 27 and Saturday, July 25, from 9 am - 2 pm, rain or shine. Children ages 7-12 will participate in hands-on activites and make projects to take home. They will see demonstrations of daily living over a hundred years ago in Appalachia including blacksmithing, woodworking, weaving, and more. Children will also participate in old-timey games and activities and make a toy typical of the time period to keep.

Register early as space is limited to 12 children per date: the fee is $30 per child, which includes a snack and lunch. Foxfire offers a $5 discount for each additional sibling. Drop off and pickup is at the Foxfire Gift Shop at 200 Foxfire Lane in Mountain City.

Parents are welcome to stay and observe and assist at no extra cost. Please mail your payment to reserve your space to the Foxfire Museum and Heritage Center P.O. Box 541 Mtn City, GA 30562. Call 706-746-5828 for more information and to obtain a registration form.
