Now in its fourth year, Techie Camp at the Willow Hill Center has grown into seven weeklong camps, each with its own theme and focus, open to third- through eighth-grade Bulloch County students at no cost to participants.

What started out as a school for formerly enslaved children in 1874 is now a thriving museum and resource center where history and legacies are preserved. WSAV’s Kim Gusby discusses the significance of the Willow Hill Heritage and Renaissance Center with Dr. Alvin Jackson (Chairman of the center’s Board of Trustees) and Dr. Nkenge Jackson-Flowers, the Board Secretary.

On April 26, the Willow Hill Heritage and Renaissance Center Museum will host A Taste of Struggle, a daylong event honoring the rich culinary traditions of the Willow Hill community and the enduring legacy of African American foodways.
