Heritage Park Cherokee Houses Nearing Completion

On Saturday, October 24, Clay County Communities Revitalization Association volunteers worked to finish the Cherokee winter house and to strip cane for the roof of the Cherokee summer house at Hayesville's Heritage Park:







John Humphrey and Gordon Ottinger stir mud to be used to fill in the cracks on the Cherokee winter house. Rob Tiger fills the cracks in the walls of the house. The mud coats honeysuckle vines woven around the posts that support the roof.

David Lang, Sandy Nichols, Fanny Watson, and Pam Nichols strip leaves off of cane that will be used for the roof of the Cherokee summer house.
