I had the privilege and honor of portraying one of Georgias earliest founders, Noble Jones. Being brought to Savannah amongst its original settlers, Jones was a carpe enter intent on helping to build what would become arguably the South's most beautiful cities. Alternatively, he quickly began shouldering many other responsibilities like becoming the first chief surveyor for the Board of Trustees, the constable, Indian agent, a captain of marines, and of course a farmer planter. The event was held at his original home, Wormsloe historic site in the old capital, Savannah. Wormhole's annual Colonial Fair and Muster is the first weekend in February. I mainly used the opportunity to interpret Georgian methods of surveying, talking about the tools that jones would have used, as well as methodologies expressed in original period manuals. |
