45th Elisha Winn Fair coming Oct. 5-6
The 45th Elisha Winn Fair will be held on Saturday and Sunday, October 5-6, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., on the grounds of the Elisha Winn House, 908 Dacula Road in Dacula. Proceeds from the fair and the quilt raffle are for the restoration and preservation of the historic Winn House and surrounding buildings. Recently the original exposed wood floors of the Winn House have been restored from previous fairs and donations to the Gwinnett Historical Society.
In addition to tours of the historic buildings, you’ll see 1812 Militia re-enactors, blacksmiths at work, ladies in period attire spinning, weaving and churning butter. The Skillet Lickers will perform both Fair days at 2 p.m. Other musicians will be performing throughout the two-day event. Craft and food vendors will be situated throughout the property.
The Society is partnering with the Philadelphia Winn Chapter, National Society Daughters of American Revolution, and with the Elisha Winn National Society Children of the American Revolution to improve the Period Garden, research and sew period clothing, and prepare hands-on learning activities for the children. Bring your children and grandchildren to the Winn Fair to experience this authentic historic setting!
