Friends in Bulloch County and surrounding areas, we encourage you to attend this weekend’s Willow Hill Heritage Festival in Portal, Georgia. The festival runs Friday, August 29 through Sunday, August 31, and includes presentations, archiving workshops, museum tours and exhibits, food, gospel music, and more. Be sure to say stop by and say hello to LaPortia Mosley, GHS Community Engagement Officer, representing GHS with information about our Community Archives Initiative.
The festival marks the 151st anniversary of the founding of the Willow Hill School shortly after the end of the Civil War by formerly enslaved residents of the Willow Hill area for their children.
Free and open to the public. Learn more at https://www.willowhillheritage.org/heritage-fest.
