PBS SERIES HISTORY DETECTIVES IN GEORGIA
"History Detectives" is a new PBS series that investigates questions posed by the public about some of history's mysteries. Their team of historians and antiquities experts will set out to answer questions about some of Georgia's "undiscovered treasures": artifacts recently discovered whose history is unclear; historic homes and other buildings/ facilities whose rich past may not be fully known and family heirlooms with an unknown, or only partially known past. If you, a friend or neighbor have an object, home, or a building that you think fits this description, please contact Fred Grinstein at Lion Television: fredg@liontv.org or call 212-2068633 ext. 29. Or visit their PBS Web site at www.pbs.org/opb/historydetectives/.
