A few months ago, we stayed outside Chatsworth in the Chattahoochee National Forest (Conasauga District) in the North Georgia Mountains. During our trip, I wanted to visit the Chief Vann House, about ten miles away. Unfortunately, the site was closed to the public on the days of our visit.

We decided to make a return trip during the Vann House Days festival in late July. The festival honors the 67th anniversary of when Georgia State Parks established this area as a historic site. Volunteers led tours of the house while demonstrating butter churning, doll making, and corn grinding.
