Archaeology & Tea with the Guale Native Americans

Sunday, May 3, 2026 10 AM to 11 AM - Fort King George Historic Site - Darien, GA - The Guale Indians, who called these coastal marshes home, used a variety of plants to prepare helpful herbal "teas". Join us on a walking tour where we chat about not only the tribe's history, but the environmental impact of colonial-era humans. Enjoy a cup of spruce and yaupon, two of the most commonly imbibed teas over 300 years ago.

This event requires no pre-registration. Visitors should arrive in adequate outdoor gear for an hour long leisurely walk that will equal no more than a mile altogether. For the more environmentally-minded: feel free to bring your own mug to sample tea! Otherwise, paper cups will be provided. ------- Fort King George is celebrating Georgia's Archaeology Month with several educational activities. Some will require pre-registration and/or additional payment for supplies. Check event description for more details. Call 912-437-4770 for more info!
