March 30 @ 6:00 pm

The Northeast Georgia History Center is proud to partner with Atlanta Historic Dance to present the Fraser’s Ridge Wedding Ball!

Step back in time and immerse yourself in the world of the Fraser family.

Dress Code: Guests are encouraged to wear 18th-century period clothing from any country or formal vintage outfits from the 1940s-1960s. Modern formal attire is also accepted.

This event is intended for guests 16 and older. Tickets are available for students, adult members, adult nonmembers, and VIP package.
