Special Event: Charlie McKinney Reunion
Saturday & Sunday, July 26 & 27, 2025
Time: details coming soon!
Orchard at Altapass (directions)
Admission: FREE
If you have ever taken a wagon ride at the Orchard, you have probably heard the stories about Charlie McKinney, the first settler on the land that now includes the Orchard at Altapass. Charlie’s legacy has had a lasting impact on the Orchard and on our community as a whole, which is why we are so pleased to provide the venue for Charlie’s descendants for their upcoming family reunion.
The reunion will take place on July 26 and 27 in the Orchard’s Pavilion from 10am-4pm on Saturday and 12pm-4pm on Sunday. Though this is not an Orchard sponsored event, the family has opened the event to anyone who would like to join them in the celebration. There will be local historians, genealogists, and family storytellers at the reunion both Saturday and Sunday, as well as live music by descendants of Charlie. It is sure to be a fun couple of days! If you have questions or need more detail the reunion organizer, Mr. Ted McKinney, can be contacted at tmvm@bellsouth.net.
