Sunday, Apr 19, 2026 10 AM to 11:30 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 Earth Day with a weeklong list of fun, environmentally educational activities.
