Don't Forget to Visit!

Don't forget: this Friday and Saturday you can visit the Gardner House! On April 29 and 30 from 10 a.m to 4 p.m. both days, you can view exhibits on the restoration of the house, the ecology of the area, and the history of Hart County. You'll also be able to see basket making demonstrations, learn how archaelogy has helped us learn who built the house, see just how tuck pointing works, and even mix a little mortar of your own.
