On July 4, 2026, gather around the campfire for an evening of storytelling!

At this Campfire Talk program, the Naturalist will be telling the incredible true story of Nancy “Granny” Dollar, Buck’s Pocket’s most famous historical figure! Born in Buck’s Pocket in 1826, Granny Dollar was the daughter of a Cherokee father and an Irish-Cherokee mother. She survived the Trail of Tears, took care of her 25 siblings, and lived to be 107 years old.

Bring a camp chair or blanket, as seating will be limited!
