A Grave Affair - Virtual Tour
A Grave Affair is a historical reenactment series that brings Towns County’s past to life right at the gravesides of the people who shaped our community. Each event features local actors portraying real pioneers, leaders, and everyday residents, sharing their stories where their history lives on.
The digital videos offered here are part of an ongoing fundraising effort to support the restoration and preservation work of the Towns County Historical Society, including the Berrong-Oakley House and future projects. Every purchase directly supports this mission and helps keep local history alive for generations to come.
