Yates Head Start

Plow through the life of a pioneer at the Ketner’s Mill County Arts Fair. Held each October, visitors can learn how early pioneers had to use hand churned mills to make fresh cornmeal and travel from location to location in covered wagons. Step back in time to shop and enjoy fun activities and entertainment.

Conservation and education naturally come together at the Chattanooga Arboretum & Nature Center. Outdoor enthusiasts learn about a fascinating array of indigenous plants, birds, mammals and reptiles. Plus you can explore a Forest Treehouse, and travel in the footsteps of Tennessee’s early Native Americans, pioneer settlers and Civil War soldiers.
