Giles County Jubilee
Field Trip Day - May 8, 2026
Public Day - May 9, 2026
In 2026 the country is celebrating 250 years since the signing of the Declaration of Independence, and Wolf Gap is celebrating all things Giles County and Tennessee history with the Giles County Jubilee!
Join us to delve into more than 250 years of history with demonstrations of historic skills such as log hewing, flint knapping, the fur trade era, open hearth cooking, and much more. Meet re-enactors portraying the fur trade era, early Giles County, and U.S. Colored Troops from the Civil War. Enjoy special displays of historic items from the Giles County Historical Society’s collection, and speakers on topics from local history. More presenters are being added every week!
This event is a partnership between Wolf Gap and the Giles County Historical Society, and is partially funded by a grant from the TN250 Commission.
