Explore the lives of 19th-century Cherokees and Moravians by experiencing some of the same pioneering skills and games during Vann House Days this weekend at the Vann House historic site in Chatsworth, Georgia.

The historic mansion, the Cherokee farmstead, the slavery exhibit, lawns and gardens will be open 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Saturday, July 28, and 1-4 p.m. Sunday, July 29.

Using a hands-on approach to learning history, Vann House Days brings the past alive with activities regularly undertaken by 1800s families. Visitors will join volunteers in corn grinding, churning butter, stickball, dart blowing and more.

Volunteer hosts and demonstrators will be spread throughout the grounds. The Vann House and grounds will be open for self-guided tours and staffed with volunteers from Friends of the Vann House to answer questions.
