Gullah Culture and Cooking with Sallie Ann Robinson

February 27, 2010, 11:00am-3:00pm

Author and cultural historian Sallie Ann Robinson will share good stories and sample good food in the kitchen at Barrington Hall.

Her tales of growing up in the Gullah Culture on Dafuskie Island, SC are truly a glimpse into a vanishing way of life.

Besides being the author of several books on Gullah food and culture, Ms. Robinson has the distinction of being a former student of Pat Conroy (author of the 1972 book “The Water is Wide”) when he taught school on Dafuskie Island.

Ms. Robinson will be available to sell and sign books, share her special Crab Rice or just visit.

This event is free and open to the public.

The Southern Trilogy Hosts “Trilogy Trolley Crawl”

August 22, 2009
7:00 pm	to	11:30 pm

If you’re looking for something really new and different to do this summer, join A Southern Trilogy in Roswell for the first annual “Trilogy Trolley Crawl” happening Saturday, August 22 from 7 p.m.-11:30 p.m. Tickets are $30 in advance and $35 at the door and include three drink tickets and three sampler plate tickets. The event will take place on the grounds of three of Roswell’s historic homes – Barrington Hall, Bulloch Hall and Smith Plantation.

History takes a step forward at this party where you will enjoy regional cuisine and signature drinks as each site transforms into one of three great American locals:

Barrington Hall will cater to the Parrot Head in all at the Barrington Hall Key West Beach Bash featuring A1A – The “Official” Jimmy Buffet Tribute Band.
Swing meets jazz at Bulloch Hall where the atmosphere of New Orleans comes to life featuring the sweet tunes of Gwen Hughes & The Retro Jazz Kats plus swing dancers.
Smith Plantation transforms into the streets of old San Antonio for an authentic southwestern fiesta featuring Mariachi Sensacion and salsa dancers.
Other fun activities are scheduled such as the “Flamingo Toss” at Barrington and the “Mask Making Contest” at Bulloch. Trolleys will transport guests from each of the homes. Parking is available at each site.

The event was created to attract people in the community who may not typically visit historic museum sites. “We specifically wanted to reach out to individuals who might not be automatically drawn to these historic homes,” says Morgan Timmis, Roswell’s Historic and Cultural Affairs Manager. “We hope to attract at least 500 if not 1000 to the party.”

Sponsors of the “Trilogy Trolley Crawl” include the City of Roswell, A Southern Trilogy, 106.7 Atlanta’s True Oldies, The Visualab, Stream Light Productions, Nirvana Café & Grille, Scroggin & Company and Mimms Enterprises.

Advanced admission tickets available at each house, The Chandlery and the Roswell Visitors Center. For more details about the event, visit www.southerntrilogy.com or call 678.639.7500.
