LEGENDS, LORE, AND LUMINARIES: APPALACHIAN FOLKLORE AND HISPANIC HERITAGE

As the autumn chill creeps over the Blue Ridge foothills and the nights grow longer, the Northeast Georgia History Center is preparing to pull back the veil on the mysterious side of history. Appalachian and Hispanic cultures both possess incredibly rich oral histories tied directly to the autumn harvest.

Taking place during the final week of National Hispanic Heritage Month, we’ll explore how early settlers and ancient Mesoamerican cultures used oral storytelling and understanding of the natural world to survive the wild frontier. Throughout the day, students can meet Admiral David Farragut and rotate through hands-on academic and artistic stations explicitly designed to reveal how both mountain settlers and Hispanic communities used storytelling, nature, and symbolism to explain the world around them.

September Homeschool Day showed just how much fun the Founding of Georgia can be! 📜

General Oglethorpe shared the story of his experiences founding Georgia, while Gainesville City Planners showed students how the Oglethorpe Plan influenced city planning—and then helped our young historians put those ideas into action by designing buildings of their own! 🏛️✏️
