This event is now history, but we have many more wonderful programs in store for you!
Join Seasonal Interpretive Ranger John Wallace for an interactive program exploring Overhill Cherokee fur hunting and trade, its role in creating Fort Loudoun, and its impact on Overhill society and culture in the 18th century Little Tennessee River Valley. Feel real furs, explore reconstructed Overhill living spaces, and learn how everyday objects can impact an entire region and its people.
This 45-minute program is free to the public. We will meet in the picnic pavilion before taking a 10-15 minute walk to the fort. Bathrooms and seating will be available at the visitor center but not the fort or picnic pavilion. Wear clothes appropriate for hot weather and bring water.
This program is intended for visitors 8 years or older. All minors must be accompanied by an adult.
