You probably haven't heard much about Georgia's colonial-era history. Walking tours, museums, and public schools and museums have a tendency to skip straight from the colony's founding to the Revolutionary War roughly four decades later.

In this (slightly delayed) episode, we're going to turn the volume up on this quiet era of Georgia's past and explore the interpretative programs that recreate the sounds of Fort Frederica's history.

What is sensory history and how can it connect historical narratives to our own experiences?

Join me for a preview episode where we discuss what sensory history means to me and what I hope to accomplish with Hindsights and Sounds
