Friends of Koreshan TimelineCorporate Facts
Festivals and EventsDuring the 1980s and well into the 1990s, the CSO partnered with the Koreshan Unity, Inc. to produce Lunar and Solar festivals. These events memorialized Koreshan events held each spring and fall to commemorate the birthdays of Victoria Gratia and Cyrus R. Teed. These festivals were held by the Koreshan followers over the years. In the late 1990s, it was decided that the CSO would begin a new fundraising event, the Ghost Walk, a theatrical production with vignettes depicting life in the Unity during the golden years. This has been the premier fundraising event orchestrated by the CSO ever since. Additional CSO events include a year-round Sunday Farmers Market, Old Fashion Holiday Bazaar, Antique Engine/Quilt/Craft Show, Women's History Month and Historic Settlement Guided Tours. Friends of Koreshan has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars over the years, used for improvement to the Park. Restorations and Grants
