Chapter XXXIII - Georgia Piedmont's Sundial Project

CDA Chapter XXXIII — Georgia Piedmont recently presented a 19th-century bronze sundial from the Cotswolds England to the William Harris Homestead in honor of the 200th anniversary of the homestead’s original log house. The sundial was set on an antique pedestal acquired in Richmond, Virginia, and placed in the homestead’s house garden. The historic piece will become an integral part of school tours, teaching the importance of managing daylight hours on a rural homestead. The presentation followed the chapter’s fall meeting where Past President Lynne Allen Tate presented the program, “The Art of Pottery: Styling and Collections”.
