Hindsights and Sounds

Justin Bristol

History that you can hear, see, touch, sometimes smell, and maybe even taste. But, mostly history that you hear. Join Justin Bristol, a public historian in Savannah, and explore how we use our senses to connect historical narratives to our own experiences. We'll head to historic sites and commemorative events to see the latest in historical interpretation, and meet with working historians and authors to discuss their work.

    A Blast at Frederica Colonial Days

    You probably haven't heard much about Georgia's colonial-era history. Walking tours, museums, and public schools and museums have a tendency to skip straight from the colony's founding to the Revolutionary War roughly four decades later. In this (slightly delayed) episode, we're going to turn the volume up on this quiet era of Georgia's past and explore the interpretative programs that recreate the sounds of Fort Frederica's history. Follow us on Facebook and Instagram at Hindsights and Sounds and reach out to me at hindsightsandsounds@gmail.com.
