Doug Wood honors his Cherokee ancestors by telling the story of the efforts of Ostenaco during the French and Indian War. This military leader recruited warriors, led war parties and conducted diplomatic missions. In the winter of 1756, he led an army of Cherokees against the Shawnees, the tribal nation responsible for the attack on the village of Mary Draper Ingles at Draper’s Meadow.

The Gift Shop will also be open and features a good assortment of items themed on the frontierswoman. And, the Mary Draper Ingles statue and train observatory will also be open from dawn to dusk.

All events are free and family appropriate.
