The presentation will begin at 7 p.m. in Rocky Mount's auditorium and will last for approximately two hours, with a brief intermission. Using the techniques of storytelling, the program will look at life in this region from today back in time to before the arrival of the white man. All proceeds from the evening will benefit Rocky Mount and help to continue the living history programming. Because this is a fund-raiser being done for Rocky Mount by the Jonesborough Guild, members of the Rocky Mount Historical Association and their guests will be charged these admission rates.
Visitors can experience life just after the American Revolution.
In addition, the Overmountain Museum houses exhibits about area and regional history, including the Overmountain Trail and the role it played in the American Revolution. Special events and programs are offered throughout the year. Rocky Mount is open for tours daily from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday and on some Sundays as part of special events.
