We were so lucky that a Pow Wow and Native American encampment was going on while we were in Stone Market. It's an annual event worthy of the tickler file! We got a Stone Mountain "Adventure Pass" which covered the $10 entry fee to this and other attractions throughout the park. Buying the tix at the camp ground office had the bonus of making a single ticket ok for two days' admission.

This fellow and his wife slept in this Tipi during the encampment. Their bed had a buffalo skin among other furs to keep them warm at night. The artifacts are all said to be "museum quality." Very educational.

This is an authentic progression, from skins used in earlier times, to worn out sail boat canvas in the 18th century.
