CANTON
Harvestfest at Tanglewood Farm
National American Indian Heritage Month has a suitable celebration spot here. Tanglewood’s faux Wild West town sits on 10 acres and houses more than 100 miniature farm animals. This event, however, is all about Southern Native Americans. It honors the Cherokee Indians who lived in the area. Guests can search for arrowheads, play in an actual teepee and ride Appaloosa and Paint ponies, the same "make and models" ridden by the locale’s early residents. Current inhabitants include turkey and tiny buffalo. The celebration takes place through Nov. 28.
10 a.m.-2 p.m. Wednesdays-Fridays. 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays. $10; ages 11 months and younger free. Tanglewood Farm, 171 Tanglewood Drive, Canton. 770-667-6464, www.tanglewoodfarmminiatures.com.
