Georgia Days is the signature educational program of the Georgia Historical Society.  Held annually around the anniversary of the founding of the colony of Georgia on February 12, 1733, this commemoration brings history to life for students of all ages through a variety of programs including a series of school events and curriculum, crafts workshops, the two-day Colonial Faire and Muster living-history program held at Wormsloe State Historic Site, and the colorful Georgia Day parade.  By engaging students in interactive learning experiences, Georgia Days sparks the imagination, develops critical thinking processes, and opens the exciting world of the past to exploration, study, and understanding.
