Travel back in time half a century to the year 1957 - through its
dress, music, movies and other artifacts - when Buchanan celebrated
the centennial of its founding and the Square was center to a busy
community life. Bring your children and enjoy a safe, fun-filled
family atmosphere set at an ornate restored Courthouse listed on
the National Register of Historic Places.
Sample a variety of craft and food specialities at the vendor arcade.
Witness demonstrations of the traditional trade of coal-fire forging.
Enjoy all-day showings of the vintage film Buchanan on Parade
as well as mass-market radio, TV and movies from 1957 on the second
floor of the Courthouse, where dining tables are made available.
Look for surprises remembering local life 100 and 150 years ago, too.
Enjoy the musical charm of the children's Cricket Chorus, and see
the Haralson County High School marching band in the noon parade.
Take part in a live remote by radio station WKNG and attend the
dedication of the Sanford-Wade Heritage House.
Food provided at vendor booths and by the Friends of the Library,
who will reprise their always-popular benefit barbecue!
