A group of people that was unceremoniously dispatched from its homeland nearly three centuries ago is about to be richly embraced. On Labor Day from 9:30 a.m.-3 p.m., the Georgia Salzburger Society and Jerusalem Lutheran Church will celebrate the 283rd anniversary of the Salzburgers' landing in Georgia. Known as Heritage Day, the free event is slated at Historic Ebenezer, 2980 Ebenezer Road, Rincon.
