Heritage Plays
THURSDAY ~ MAY 7
6:00 PM

Overmountain Men
September is a busy month for travel . . . in time. Take a trip back to the 18th century with the armies of the Revolutionary War and recall those moments as the Orchard hosts a small reenactment of the actual battle of Kings Mountain between the red coats and the Overmountain Men. Muskets will blaze, voices boom, and hearts beat in a battle that “turned the tide on the war.” This event, on the grounds of the Orchard, will enlighten and engage all who take experience the action.
Then break bread (corn bread) with the musket toting pioneers as they retell the event in an evening banquet. True to its mission, these annual events at the Orchard honor the heritage and history of the region.
Orchard Club

Books
Throughout the season, the Orchard will host new authors, interesting authors, authors with something to say, to write about during free "meet the author" book signings. Watch Facebook for upcoming events. See you on the front porch.
