SUMMARY:Death Comes to Sabine Hill
DESCRIPTION:Candlelight Tours Featuring Early American Death & Mourning Customs \nOn October 20 th and 21 st Sabine Hill State Historic Site in Elizabethton\, TN will present “Death\nComes to Sabine Hill”\, a unique event designed to resurrect many of the forgotten traditions\nassociated with death and mourning in early America. Visitors will experience these mysterious\ncustoms firsthand through special after-hours tours of the historic Taylor House. \nTwo centuries ago\, our ancestors perceived death and mourning quite differently than we do.\nToday\, we push through the funeral process as quickly as possible. Those who came before us\,\nhowever\, took a much more intimate approach. Disease\, war\, infant mortality\, and other causes\nmeant that death was a persistent companion especially before the days of modern medical\nadvancement. Prior to the advent of funeral homes\, the process of preparing a deceased family\nmember for burial was carried out at home\, and all manner of traditions\, superstitions\, and\nceremonies that had been practiced in the old world continued here in the new. These ancient\nfuneral customs and mourning rituals\, many of which may seem bizarre and macabre today\, have\nbeen all but forgotten. At “Death Comes to Sabine Hill” visitors can learn more about these\ntraditions and see just how differently death was viewed and accepted in the past. \nThese special candlelight tours will occur on Friday\, October 20 th and Saturday\, October 21st\,\nand offer guests a chance to experience the historic Taylor House after dark! Visitors will pay\ntheir respects to the deceased at the wake and meet historically dressed interpreters throughout\nthe house who will talk about the funeral customs and mourning rituals of days gone by. As the\ntour progresses outdoors\, guests will visit with the coffin maker\, grave digger\, professional\nmourner\, and resurrectionist as they share the professions associated with death & funerals in\nEarly America. These tours deal with subject matter that may be too sensitive for younger\nvisitors. Parental discretion is advised. Tour times are 6:00\, 6:30\, 7:00\, 7:30\, 8:00\, & 8:30 pm\neach night. Admission is $14.00 per individual. Pre-registration is required. Tickets can be\npurchased at tnstateparks.com/parks/events/sycamore-shoals. \nPlease be advised that Sabine Hill State Historic Site only offers portable restroom facilities at\nthis time. The historic house is only accessible by steps and an interior staircase. This event is\nsubject to cancellation in the event of significantly inclement weather. Sabine Hill State Historic\nSite is located at 2328 West G St. Elizabethton\, TN 37643. For more information about this and\nother exciting events please contact Sycamore Shoals State Historic Park at 423-543-5808 or\nvisit sycamoreshoalstn.wordpress.com\, tnstateparks.com/parks/sycamore-shoals\, or\nfacebook.com/sycamore-shoals. \nSabine Hill State Historic Site is operated through a partnership between the Tennessee\nHistorical Commission and Sycamore Shoals State Historic Park.

SUMMARY:Witches Wynd
DESCRIPTION:Kingsport\, TN – If you’ve lived in the Tri-Cities/Southwest Virginia region for even just a couple\nof years\, you know all about Witches Wynd (that second word is pronounced “why-nd\,”\nrhymes with “kind”)\, the annual storytelling event held at Exchange Place\, Kingsport’s own\nLiving History Farm. One of the most unique and popular public events held anywhere in\nAppalachia\, this year’s collection of eerie tales will be offered (for the 31 st consecutive year!) on\nFriday\, October 20 and Saturday\, October 21\, beginning each night at 8 pm. And while Friday\nnight is virtually sold out\, there are still some tickets available for Saturday. \nPeople begin to check in at Exchange Place – located at 4812 Orebank Road in Kingsport\,\nTennessee – around 7:30 pm\, and are randomly placed in four groups. Then\, around 8:00 pm\,\nwhen it is good and dark (prime time for those all “ghoulies and ghosties”!)\, each group is led\nacross the road of the historic farm. At this point they separate and are taken to four different\nlocations where\, over the course of the next two hours\, everyone gets to listen to Halloween-ish\ntales told by some of this region’s finest storytellers. And then\, just when you think the night is\nover\, you get served a special treat – there are cookies and hot cider waiting for you in\nRoseland’s back porch\, a sweet way to end the evening. \nOur storytellers this year are Judy “Butterfly” Farlow\, Hannah Harvey\, Katie Hoffman\, and Libby\nTipton. Oh\, and in case anyone might be concerned that our stories are grossly macabre\,\nplease know that our aim is to entertain\, not frighten. Witches Wynd has\, over the years\,\nproved to be popular with teenagers and pre-teens\, as well as their parents. It is probably fair\nto say that watching the evening news can be far more upsetting! \nTickets for Witches Wynd are $10 for everyone\, and can be purchased by calling Exchange\nPlace at 423-288-6071. We are now equipped to take credit cards (though please note that\nthere will be a 50-cent surcharge attached to those orders). All the money we collect for this\nannual event\, as well as for anything that takes place out at Exchange Place\, is used to benefit\nthe animals who live year-round at Exchange Place\, as well as for the continued restoration and\npreservation of the site\, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. \nExchange Place is a living history farm whose mission is to preserve and interpret the heritage\nof mid-nineteenth century farm life in Northeast Tennessee. Exchange Place is a non-profit\norganization maintained and operated entirely by volunteers and is supported by donations\,\nfundraisers\, memberships and grants.

Lyn is also a Creative Aging Project story coach (“Heartworks”)\, a Certified Laughter Yoga Teacher\, a great-grandma\, and a pretty good cook. \n\nMichael Reno Harrell is an award-winning songwriter\, a published author\, a nationally known storyteller and a visual artist. He’s from the Southern Appalachian Mountains of North Carolina where all those things are as much a part of life as breathing. Michael’s talents in the aforementioned fields have taken him to forty-four states and several foreign countries over his fifty-three-year career. His work is based in life experiences that reflect the culture of his mountain roots\, which go back eight generations. Michael’s stories\, songs and artworks reflect not only the southern experience\, but also American’s story. His work\, in whichever form it may take\, all comes down to one thing…story.
