You can also sample Major William Horton’s ginger ‘ale’ or root ‘beer’ in honor of Georgia’s first brewery, which was located at this spot.
There will be drills and demonstration, and colonial games on the lawn.
The Living History Event at Horton House is co-sponsored by Fort Frederica National Monument and the Jekyll Island Museum.
Presentation by colonial re-enactors will take place on Saturday, July 11, 2009, 2:00 pm on the grounds of the Horton House Historic Site. Admission is free.
