Find out moreThe Sautee Nacoochee Center (SNC) is pleased to announce the opportunity for learning through interaction with historic interpreters. Traditions of the Appalachian Mountains will be alive at the Heritage Site, which is located on the 8.5 acre SNC campus. Framed by nineteenth century landscaping and antebellum artifacts, the Heritage Site features two structures that will be brought to life on the second and fourth Saturdays of each month. A slave cabin original to the Nacoochee Valley and moved to the SNC campus, along with a blacksmith's shop built onsite in 2014, tell the region's history in many ways. On scheduled Heritage Days a docent will welcome visitors to the cabin, which provides a focal point for the story of the people whose labor contributed in many ways to life in Northeast Georgia. A demonstrating blacksmith will be at the smithy, which offers a window into the ways in which functional and decorative tools and implements were created in communities all across the region. The Heritage Site will be staffed and welcoming visitors on the second and fourth Saturdays from 10 AM until 4 PM as listed in the events calendar. All are invited to stop by to learn about nineteenth and early twentieth century life through demonstration and conversation.

Join Performing Arts Director DeDe Vogt on Virtual Center Stage as we explore new works by local authors Jerry Grillo and Ivy Rutzky. Jerry Grillo's first book is The Music and Mythocracy of Col. Bruce Hampton: A Basically True Biography, which will have its official release from the University of Georgia Press on April 1st. Jerry has been writing stories, in one form or another, for most of his life. First as a cartoonist, and for a very long time as a journalist. His full-time working hours these days belong to Georgia Tech, where he's worked since 2014, writing about mad scientists and their good works in biomedical engineering. [Jerry Grillo photo credit: April Swing] Ivy Rutzky worked in the American Museum of Natural History in New York City for 25 years. In 2009, she headed south, trading in dioramas of nature for the real woods of Northeast Georgia. She kayaks in a nearby lake, writes poetry and wanders in her backyard creek. Her column, "Bear With Me", appeared in the White County News for a decade. Now available in hardback, Bear With Me chronicles her transition from city girl to country gal. Program is Free!

Actor Bill Oberst, Jr. has stepped into the late Lewis Grizzard's shoes over 1,000 times in the last decade. Oberst's portrayal of the Southern writer and humorist is a one-man show authorized by Grizzard's family, which says it is the closest thing to seeing the late great spokesman of the south onstage again since Grizzard's death at age 47.Grizzard's widow Dedra still remembers the moment she first saw Bill Oberst, Jr. as her late husband. "When he looked down over those glasses and the audience laughed, it really was like seeing a ghost." she says. Yet Mrs. Grizzard was skeptical. A tribute show with an actor playing Mr. Grizzard had not been her idea, but hers was the final word. "After the show so many people came up and thanked me. So I decided that maybe we could do this in a way that honored Lewis's memory, which was the most important thing to me. I told Bill "Let's just try it and see what happens." Twelve hundred performances later, the show is still going strong.
