Join us and the Historical Society of Cumming as we learn about Forsyth County native, Jacob Scudder, and the history behind the myth that led to the desecration and restoration of his plot in Diana's Chapel Cemetery. Also included will be information about the Tolbert Street AME Cemetery, the Blackburn Cemetery where Mixed-Blood Cherokee Chief James Vann is buried, and how his grave is marked.
