Kids and adults alike enjoyed the annual Heritage Day at Smyrna’s historic Sam Davis Home and Plantation.
Heritage Day began in 1987 and seemingly grows each year.
Sam Davis Home Executive Director Jenny Lamb says, “This year we have more than 600 kids and parents enjoying hands-on exhibits and education on how things used to be done. Washing your clothes, cooking and the mundane things we take for granted.
”Please give the Sam Davis Home a like on Facebook and visit www.samdavishome.org for more information.
