The 23rd Annual Granville Heritage Day will be held on May 29th in Historic Granville with the theme “Beyond Passengers- Women & Transportation”. This year's festival will focus on the “Contributions of Women” with special exhibits in Granville Museum, Sutton Historic Home and the Pioneer Village. The exhibits focus on women of the Granville Community, as well as women of Tennessee and our country.
The Garland & Louise Collier Family (Pictured) is a great example of how people with Granville roots return to their hometown for a special day to reconnect with family. Last year the Collier Family visited Granville on Heritage Day and donated their family wagon to the Granville Museum and Pioneer Village. The family has many great memories of traveling to Granville in their wagon, and Heritage Day helps their family to remember those special days.
