Pickett's Mill candlelight tours postponed

The extension of a burn ban in drought-stricken Paulding County, Ga., led to the postponement of this coming weekend’s candlelight tours at Pickett’s Mill Battlefield Historic Site. The tours include a campfire, candle lanterns and the firing of black powder weapons. “When the fire danger is this high, fires of all types start quickly and burn intensely,” said the Friends of Pickett’s Mill Battlefield. The event will be rescheduled, likely in March 2017. Registration money will be refunded. • Details
