Georgia Days 2008 Colonial Faire and Muster

Savannah, GA - January 28, 2008. The Georgia Historical Society and the Wormsloe Historic Site invite you to join us on Saturday and Sunday, February 2-3, 2008, from 10 a.m. - 4 p.m., for the annual Georgia Days Colonial Faire and Muster. The Colonial Faire and Muster has been a Savannah tradition for the past 8 years. Attendees at this GHS's Georgia Days tradition will step back into history on the site of one of the earliest and most beautiful colonial-era plantations of the Georgia coast. Guests can visit the ruins of the plantation house and slave cabin, while costumed interpreters, colonial-era musicians, and a host of demonstrations evoke the spirit of colonial Georgia for visitors of all ages. A schedule of events is available upon arrival at the Faire and Muster, and will detail the many exciting activities that will be going on throughout the weekend.

The Colonial Faire and Muster is part of GHS's Georgia Days, a month-long commemoration of Georgia's rich history, and GHS's signature educational event of the year. The Colonial Faire and Muster is free and open to the public. For more information about Georgia Days, visit www.georgiahistory.com and follow the Georgia Days links.

The event is sponsored by the Society of Colonial Wars in the State of Georgia.
