Looking for a memorable family outing? On Saturday, September 12, 2026, you'll find a vibrant day of living history, hands-on craft demonstrations, and family fun here at the Northeast Georgia History Center!

Throughout the day, the Foxfire Museum and Heritage Center will be in residence to demonstrate traditional Appalachian skills and regional heritage crafts. Alongside Foxfire, the Georgia Mountain Fiber Arts Guild will offer an up-close look at historic textile traditions. 

In celebration of National Grandparents Day, NEGAHC is hosting a special morning of family activities from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM. Grandparents and grandchildren can team up to explore history firsthand through interactive crafts, historic toys and games, and guided activities built for all ages.

Combining master craft demonstrations with a celebration of family roots, this unique event builds a bridge between past and present, offering Gainesville families a memorable opportunity to learn, create, and connect together.

A portion of the proceeds will support The Foxfire Village Museum & Mercantile in Rabun County, GA
