Juneteenth is the oldest nationally celebrated commemoration of the ending of slavery in the United States. On June 19, 1865, Union soldiers landed at Galveston, Texas with news that the war had ended and that the enslaved were now free. This was two and a half years after President Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation, which had become official January 1, 1863.
The Heritage Site at SNC features two structures that will be brought to life over Juneteenth weekend. A slave cabin original to the Nacoochee Valley and moved to the SNC campus, along with a blacksmith’s shop built onsite in 2014, tell the region’s history in many ways.

How is your family planning to celebrate Father’s Day this year?
It is amazing! I have been thinking with my mom about how to celebrate father’s day and we didn’t have any idea so, this article is perfect to find a solution. I would like my dad will have fun with us and all those events sound great. I am sure many people would like to read this info because they will be glad to know what to do with their fathers on this special day.
I will share this article with my family and my friends. Thanks for the info, well done.
I love your site! It’s immediately interesting because it is enhanced with colour and images. It is also very easy to navigate and the information (of which there is lots!) is well-organised and laid out.
A great one stop shop for organising a very important site. No need for your audience to shoot off in search of other websites – it’s all here: maps, accommodation information etc. Great job.
Wow this is amazing. I don’t need to go any-where to find out fun stuff to do with dad. I like that also the article is easy to read and its like your sitting next to me and telling me what I can do on the big weekend and any weekend.
This is a great resource for the weekend for anyone in North Georgia. Great ideas that I would be doing every weekend (not just only on Farther’s day). It also gives people an idea what the place is like if they ever desire to visit. Great to have another place to visit Georgia!
The ideas are so amazing and priceless. It just came out at right time for the right day. Thanks for sharing now I am really looking forward to Father’s day.
Thanks Adona, I hope this has inspired some great ideas to celebrate Father’s Day this weekend!
Wow, I was in Georgia mountain around father day last year and I must say it was a very nice experience as we treated my dad to a lot…I never knew they enjoyed this much in that particular part of Georgia.it so sad I wasn’t able to make it this year due to covid-19
It’s a shame that we aren’t all able to travel freely as we are accustomed to doing. Hopefully you are able to take advantage of some of the great Father’s Day offers that are widely available / all across the USA!
Well, now I wish I lived in Georgia, or at least closer to that state so I could visit.
You have done an outstanding job of listing activities and places where you might like to take Dad on Father’s Day. It’s very timely and quite complete. There are several places on your list that I would like to visit. You give me ideas that I could investigate in my own state, just to see what’s available.
The folks in Georgia are certainly lucky to have all this information available to them. I hope you get many visitors on your site to read this story.
Thanks Fran! I do hope that this can help people looking for fun ways to treat Dad on Father’s Day!!
What a fantastic website! I live in Georgia and was at a loss for what to do for Father’s Day, so this is a great resource for that as well as for fun activities in Georgia. I love the variety of options available here and am most interested in those activities which are primarily outside since COVID-19 is a huge factor in all out of outing decisions in my family. Of everything listed, I think the Montaluce Winery in Dahlonega’s Wine Hike sounds the most appealing. We’ve visited Dahlonega many times in the past and have always had a good time. I didn’t know they even had such a thing as a wine hike! Looking forward to trying it out!
Hi Maria, Montaluce is a gorgeous winery and a fantastic place to treat Dad on Father’s Day. In addition to the wine hike offered at Montaluce, they have a beautiful tasting room (with indoor and outdoor areas), a great restaurant, and you can even rent a villa to stay overnight at the winery! Enjoy!!
What a brilliant and relevant / timely article about Father’s Day specials and gifts. Great ideas to help shop for and help to say “Thank You” to Dad. I wish i was living in America at this time as there are so many good discount offers and lots that I would enjoy with Dad. The good news for me is that this has plenty of ideas that I can try for my own Father locally. I think that a lot of people will agree and find this article very interesting.
Thank you!
Hi Imelda, Thanks for sharing. I am glad to hear that this post has helped to inspire some fun ideas for you and your father to enjoy on Father’s Day!
It is that time of the year again, just as mothers deserve to enjoy their mother’s day, and so do the fathers as well. I am looking forwards to receive my father’s day gift from my daughters soon. It is surely great to be a father and I really don’t mind having up to six children.
What is your best experience for Father’s Day? Do you have any special memories?
Hi Juma John Jongu, You sound quite blessed to have such a large and loving family! I’m sure they will spoil you with love, laughter, and thoughtful gifts again this year for Father’s Day!
My favorite memories of Father’s Day are the times that we simply take to spend the day doing something fun with Dad (or granddads or kids). Last year we took the kids to a pro baseball game. The stadium had lots of fun events for Father’s Day, including a chance to get on the field and run the bases after the game! Going to see a pro baseball game isn’t an option this year (the season is on hold due to COVID-19), but it’s good to have other Father’s Day activities in the Georgia mountains that Dad can choose from.
