The weekend festival will not only tell the tale of William Cobb and his historic cabin, but the timeline of the region through the centuries. The event is one of the largest historical events spanning from the Revolutionary Wars to current times.

Living history reenactors, authors, storytellers, and musicians will guide guests through history during the annual event, sharing their knowledge, and giving them a peek at the different facets of life over the years.
