(Media release from Chieftains Museum/Major Ridge Home):
Chieftains Museum/Major Ridge Home will host its annual Herb & Plant Sale on Saturday from 9 am to 4 pm and Sunday from 12 pm to 3 pm in the Village Building at the Coosa Valley Fairgrounds.
There will be a members-only pre-sale on Friday night, according to Olivia Cawood, Executive Director.
Proceeds will benefit the Chieftains Museum/Major Ridge Home, a National Historic Landmark and one of just a few private entities to be certified by the National Park Service as a site on the Trail of Tears. Cawood asserts that the preservation of that historic property is important because of the story that it tells.
