The Northeast Georgia History Center will host its final performance of New Gainesville Chautauqua: Founders of Georgia on Tuesday, August 8th at 7 PM.
The program will start off with a Baroque-style dance by Kat Nagar of Atlanta Historic Dance.
Then audiences will meet Major-General Nathanael Greene who is portrayed by professional living history interpreter Dan McMichael.
Greene was a prominent military figure during the American Revolution where he rose from private to major-general within the Continental Army.
He commanded the Southern Department and led effective strategies that led to the British withdrawal from the Carolinas, which profoundly impacted the course of the war.
After the war, Greene began living in Savannah at Mulberry Grove Plantation.
New Gainesville Chautauqua is inspired by the Chautauqua movement originating in the late 19th century which helped foster adult education through traveling lectures, performances, and discussions to rural areas.
Tickets for this performance are free for Members, $10 for non-Members at the door with cash or card.
To enjoy free admission to this event and others, become a Member of the Northeast Georgia History Center at www.negahc.org/member.
