The annual Clenny Creek Heritage Day event will take place at the Bryant House Property on 3361 Mt. Carmel Road in Carthage on Saturday, April 19th | 10:00am-4:00pm. The Clenny Creek Heritage Day is the annual rite of spring showcasing the 1820s furnished Bryant House and 1760s Joel McLendon Cabin, the oldest dwelling on its original site in Moore County. Both historic house museums are owned by the Moore County Historical Association. The McLendon cabin was occupied during the Revolutionary War and both houses were occupied during the Civil War. On this educational, family-fun day both houses will be open.

There will be 18th and 19th century crafters demonstrating old-time activities such as quilting, weaving, cooking, woodworking, and living history.  Attendees can also sample the farm animal petting area and live music and entertainment. There will also be “camps” of both the American Revolution and the Civil War with reenactors. There will be an exhibit of swords and edged weapons.
