Long ~ Hurricane Shoals
The first stop on the Jefferson tour was Shields-Etheridge farm. Shields-Etheridge is a living history farm dating back to the Civil War days. While there the students were given a demonstration by Civil War reenactor and author Frank Gilbert. They were also given a demonstration in the art of blacksmithing.
