Frontier to Front Yard

Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area

  • Nov 8, 2026 at 11:00 AM
  • Free

Join our rangers and volunteers for a place-based public history program that brings the early 19th century Georgia frontier to life-right where it happened. Through material culture, storytelling, and primary sources, visitors explore daily life, land hunger, and conflict in the 1820s–1830s. The program invites visitors to see how national policies played out locally and how the frontier still shapes the landscapes and communities around us today. This is an informal, stationary program and walk-ups are welcome!
