The Green Sisters
At Oconee Station State Historic Site
Discover the Story of Four Remarkable Women
Join us as we celebrate Women's History Month with an engaging interpretive program about the Green Sisters: Victoria, Tecoa, Perneacy, and Salina Green. These independent women lived and worked at Oconee Station for over 70 years, running a self-sufficient farm, crafting intricate quilts, preserving foods for year-round use, and welcoming visitors to their historic home.
