June 20-22
After 15 years, the Mitchell family returns to Coosa County to celebrate family during the weekend of June 20-22, and this year, the reunion most fittingly coincides with the National Juneteenth Holiday. During that weekend, the family will engage in activities to strengthen the bond of unity through remembering shared experiences and honoring our ancestors who led us
on a path to success. We gather to honor our earliest known ancestral couple, Henry and Amanda
Leonard Mitchell (1823-1913). The Community Life Center of Coosa County; located at 188 County Road 30, Kellyton, 35089, on the campus of Peace and Goodwill Baptist Church; will be the primary site of the reunion activities. During the weekend there will be tours of historic sites, wreath-laying ceremonies in remembrance of deceased ancestors, a family picnic with fun and games, and a banquet. The culminating event will be attending family worship on Sunday morning at the New Home Baptist Church located at 4181 Coosa County Road 30, Rockford, 35136, where many of our early ancestors were congregants.
