SUMMARY:Lunch in the Backcountry - 1776
DESCRIPTION:You’re invited to join us for a special\, hands-on program\, “Lunch in the Backcountry – 1776.”\nIn 1776\, life on the Tennessee frontier was equal parts resilience\, resourcefulness\, and community. Historian Ben Barrington brings that world to life on October 13 in an immersive\, hands-on experience unlike anything else we offer.\nYou’ll step into the story of Tennessee’s first permanent white settlers\, the William Bean Family\, during a turbulent time that included the siege of Fort Watauga and the captivity of Lydia Bean by the Cherokee. Help prepare two meals: a “Community Under Siege” improvised from whatever is on hand\, then a Celebration Dinner marking Lydia Bean’s return.\nSpace is limited\, so reserve yours now at gsmheritagecenter.org/events-tickets.\nOctober 13 | 10:30 AM\n$75 per person \nEvent Location: The Great Smoky Mountains Heritage Center\, 123 Cromwell Drive\, Townsend\, TN 37882
