We are pleased to announce that Highland will host author and cidermaker Diane Flynt to discuss her book Wild, Tamed, Lost, Revived: The Surprising Story of Apples in the South on Sunday, March 24 from 1:30 to 2:30 p.m. Flynt’s book tells a 200-year-old tale with anecdotes of U.S. presidents, Oregon Trail emigrants, and even Queen Victoria, while exploring the darker side of the orchard: the apple’s relationship to slavery and the theft of Indigenous people’s lands.
This event is in partnership with the Virginia Festival of the Book and is free and open to the public. Follow the link below for more information:
