Historic site to host frontier encampment Saturday

In these contemporary times, there’s still at least one place you can go in Oconee County for a glimpse and understanding of what it was like in the years after the American Revolution. Back then Oconee Station was a frontier outpost. These days it is an official state history site, and this Saturday there will be a frontier encampment. Re-enactors will interpret what life was like for the frontiersmen in a program to include period-related activities, cooking, and musket demonstrations. The program, from 10 am to 3 pm, is appropriate for all ages. An adult should accompany those 12 and under. The park is located off SC 11 on 210 acres that offer a fishing pond and a network of trails that access the 60-foot Station Cove waterfall.
