Imagining Oconee just after the Revolutionary War

This Saturday is Frontier Encampment Day at the Oconee Station State Historic Site near Walhalla. The public is invited for a program, from 10 am to 3 pm., that allows you to travel back in time to the years right after the Revolutionary War when Oconee Station was still a frontier outpost. Re-enactors will be there to interpret what life was life for the frontiersmen of this bygone era. The program is appropriate for all ages, but an adult must accompany those 12 and younger. The park, not far from n. highway 11, contains two historic structures: Oconee Station, a blockhouse used as an outpost by the state militia from 1792 to 1799, and the William Richards House named for the Irish immigrant who ran an Indian trading post at the turn of the 19th century.
