There will also be light refreshments, kids' activities, information booths from local organizations, and guests will have a chance to tour the museum's recently restored 19th-century cabin. A special pop-up exhibit about the Battle of Kings Mountain, courtesy of the NC Department of Natural and Cultural Resources, will also be available for viewing.

He spends most weekends as a volunteer interpreter at various historic sites.
