Museum Tour
This includes a tour of the Folk Pottery Museum, History Museum, and a pottery demonstration.

Students will also delve deeper into the history of Georgia in the Sautee
Nacoochee History Museum, where they will learn about the lives and cultures of the Native Americans
and early Georgia inhabitants.
Heritage Tour
This tour offers students the same benefits of the Museum Tour, with the addition of a walk along the
Museum's Heritage Path. There students will visit a restored former slave cabin and watch a live
demonstration by a blacksmith.
Additional Hands-on Arts Activity
After visiting the Folk Pottery Museum and learning about the history of the area, students will love the
hands-on activity which can follow. Students of all ages will have the opportunity to take direct inspiration
