The 18th century house was once occupied by Col. James A. Richardson and his family. The house and other buildings located on the property will be open to the public. The festivities will be held on the grounds, located at 1615 River Road, located just outside of White Oak.
Visitors will experience reenactment groups and crafters, period decorations and costumes, blacksmithing, colonial guns and survey equipment, colonial craftsmen and artists at work, children's games and doll making.
Food and drinks may be purchased from Fred Booth's Dutch Oven Cooked Goodies and hot dogs by the Boy Scouts.
Music will be held in the chapel beginning at 2 p.m. provided by the Heavenly Sunrise, Debbie Wilson, the Baldwin Branch Men’s Chorus, Keith Barbour with violin and more.
The school house, Tatum Store and General Store will be open to the public and no admission is charged, but donations are welcome and appreciated. For more information call 910-866-4844.
