This event is now history, but we have many more wonderful programs in store for you!
CANCELED Step back into the 18th century at our hands-on pine pitch glue workshop with Ranger Taylor. Participants will learn the traditional methods used by the Cherokee, who relied on pine pitch as a vital adhesive for everything from toolmaking to repairing canoes. Guided by historic techniques and authentic materials, you'll learn how this indispensable substance was crafted and why it played such an important role in daily life. Join us for an immersive experience that blends history, culture, and practical skills you can take home. Open to ages 12 and up. Meet at the Ft. Watauga Amphitheater fire pit, near the bleachers.
