Pioneer Day Print
Saturday, March 27 2010, 10:00am - 4:00pm
The Tombigbee Pioneer Group will perform living history demonstrations that show the challenges faced and creative solutions developed by those Americans who lived in the area from the 1700s to 1840. The demonstrations will take place at the Natchez Trace Parkway Visitor Center (located at milepost 266 near Tupelo, Mississippi), from 10:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. on Saturday, March 27, 2010.  The public is invited to watch pioneer lifestyle activities that often include corn-shuck doll making, basket weaving, beading, quill pen demonstrations, and a longhunter’s program involving early medicines.  Leatherworking and mountain dulcimer demonstrations will also be offered throughout the day. Children are invited to participate by dressing up in pioneer clothes and trying these activities firsthand.
