Waynesboro Historic District is Georgia's 2,000th Listing in the National Register of Historic Places The Waynesboro Historic District, located in Burke County, was listed in the National Register of Historic Places on March 25, 2009, marking a milestone for Georgia as the state's 2,000th listing. The state's 1,000th listing, Lavonia's Carnegie Library in Franklin County, occurred more than 25 years ago. A celebration, sponsored by the City of Waynesboro and the Historic Preservation Division of the Georgia Department of Natural Resources, will be held on May 13, 2009, on the steps of the Burke County courthouse in Waynesboro. The public is invited. Waynesboro (originally spelled Waynesborough) was a crossroads community formed where the Quaker Road (6th Street) and the road from Savannah to Augusta (Liberty Street) met. It was founded by state legislation in 1783 as the county seat of Burke County. After railroads reached the area by the mid-1800s, the town grew to become Archaeological Perspective - Fort Morris Historic Site, Midway - www.gastateparks.org/net/ calendar /details.aspx?c=4080122&s=166187.0.0.5 June 6 - A Day in a Miner's Life - Dahlonega Gold Museum Historic Site - www.gastateparks. org/net/calendar /details.aspx?s=143063.0.0.5&c=4013281 June 6 - Day of Discovery at Etowah discussion of recent archaeological findings Etowah Indian Mounds Historic Site, Cartersville - www.gastateparks.org/net/calendar /details.aspx?c=2635737&s=123019.0.0.5 July 25 - Chief Vann House Days - Chief Vann House Historic Site, Chatsworth - www. gastateparks.org/net/calendar /details.aspx?s=69222.0.1.5&c=3824224 September 12 - Georgia's Indian Heritage Lecture on prehistoric Creek and Cherokee Indians of north Georgia - Etowah Indian Mounds Historic Site, Cartersville - www. gastateparks.org/net/calendar /details.aspx?c=2635743&s=610.0.0.5 October 3 - Skills of the Past - Essential Native American crafts demonstrations - Etowah Indian Mounds Historic Site, Cartersville - www. gastateparks.org/net /calendar/details.aspx? c=2635744&s=43290.0.0.5 October 31-November 21 - 50th Seminar for Historical Administration - Indianapolis - www. aaslh.org/histadmin.htm November 7 - Syrup Makin' & Storytellin' Demonstrations of the sugar cane mill, syrup kettle, steam engine, woodstove cooking and storytelling - Jarrell Plantation Historic Site, Juliette - www.gastateparks.org/net/calendar /details.aspx?c=3824247&s=70043.0.0.5 National and state conferences and meetings (listed in previous newsletters)April 18 - The Georgia Trust's Hay Day - free family festival at the Hay House - Macon - visit www.hayhouse.org or call 478-742-8155 the regional hub for processing and shipping of farm products, which spurred the growth of commercial and residential areas.
