    What is a tar kiln? Where did the term “tar heel” originate? Join us for an amazing program where we will be going back in time and “working” a real tar kiln. We will actually produce tar and pitch like many of our ancestors once did. This program will last approximately one hour. We will be outside, so please dress for the weather. Meet at the park visitor center and we will take a short walk to the demonstration area.
