Join Park Ranger Taylor Moorefield for a seasonal story time inside a log cabin. Various traditional stories will be shared, including some centered around the Christmas season during the 18th century. Learn about General Washington’s crossing of the Delaware on Christmas Day, our own Landon Carter, and the revolutionary battles he fought in during the Christmas season of 1780, as well as more far-fetched tales – like when Davy Crockett saved the world by thawing out the sun one cold winter morning. Meet at the Talbot House inside Fort Watauga – the second cabin on the left as you enter the fort from the sidewalk.
