263rd Anniversary of Grant's Campaign

In June of 1761, a British army under Col. James Grant invaded the Cherokee’s homeland. Over the course of a month, his forces destroyed 18 Cherokee towns in a bid to end the war once and for all. This program will contrast life in barracks at Fort Dobbs with life in the field as experienced by both Grant's men and Cherokee warriors. Featured activities include musket firing demonstrations. 10am-4pm Saturday. $2 admission.
