The Whiskey Bonding Barn in Pike County was listed in the NRHP in

2008.
Did you know that almost every county in the United States has at least one place listed in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP)? All of Georgia's counties (except Lanier) have at least one listing!
The National Register would like to inspire you to explore the NRHP listings in your county. The goal is to represent each county of each state that has a property listed. Search for specific counties through the NR database. Take a photograph of a historical property and post it to this group. Please include the name of listing, county, and state in the description of the photograph. Keep in mind that the vast majority of properties listed in the NRHP are privately owned, so please respect privacy and all private property rights in your area.
