Will be rescheduled for a date in the Spring to be advised
Settlement Day at the William Harris Homestead Museum &Education Center is postponed due to the inclement weather forecast for this Saturday, November 11, scheduled from 10 am to 2 pm.
Unfortunately, due to the predicted inclement weather for this Saturday and our limited “indoor space,” we have made a tough decision to reschedule Settlement Day.
Settlement Day is an out of doors event, most of the demonstrations cannot take place in the rain. Our educators and reenactord’ clothing, tools, accessories, and props are not weatherproof. Rather than try to scale down, and try to move demonstrations under the pavilion, we have made the difficult decision to reschedule to the spring in order to give our visitors the full immersive experience of life in rural Colonial Georgia.
If you have already purchased tickets and have not already been contacted, you can request a refund by emailing tanya@harrishomestead.com, use your ticket for any open Saturday for a private tour, or use it for the rescheduled event in the spring. (Date to be determined)
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and look forward to seeing you in the spring.
