Pioneer Territory
Pioneer Territory in the northwest corner of the state is an area rich in Indian lore, one filled with reminders of the culture and traditions of some of Georgia's earliest settlers.
This is the birthplace of the famous Sequoia, inventor of the Cherokee Indian alphabet, and the location of New Echota, the capital of the Cherokee Indian nation from 1825-1838.
Residences such as the Vann House in Chatsworth and the Chieftains in Rome, both owned by Cherokees, have been preserved for visitors as outstanding examples of Indian wealth and influence here.
Another well-known Georgian has also left footprints in Pioneer Territory. Oak Hill, the ancestral home of educator Martha Berry, is a fine example of the classic southern plantation.
Those who enter Georgia through Rock City will find a spectacular view of the entire region at the top of Lookout Mountain. From there it's not far to the pleasures of Pioneer Territory or any of the six other travel regions beyond the horizon: the Northeast Georgia Mountains, the Classic South, the Colonial Coast, the Heart of Georgia, Plains Country, or the Big A.

Northeast Georgia Mountains
Earth meets the sky in the Northeast Georgia Mountains, or so it seems, as the tall peaks that frame picturesque villages and Brasstown Bald, the highest elevation, reach for the bluE:.
Waterfalls rush to fill nearby streams in miles of untouched natural forest. Gold forms in the hills of Dahlonega and slips into the leaves of autumn woodland trees. A scenic highway winds around glassy lakes, running with the colorful wildflowers that dot its graceful curves. Georgia is breathtaking in this simple glory.
Attractions here are closely attuned to the outdoors. A trout farm offers license-free fishing, game management preserves invite hunting, and camping, hiking, and picnic facilities are scattered throughout the area.
This is the place to hunt Indian relics, hang glide, snow ski, or join a white water canoeing expedition.
Rustic accommodations are available from friendly people who are as widely known for their cleverly fashioned handicrafts as they are for their delicious country food.
If adventure, sports, the great outdoors, and a down home atmosphere are your vacation pleasure, the Northeast Georgia Mountains can suit your every need. You'll want to explore them again and again.

Classic South
In the Classic South, chances are that nothing will ever destroy what the Civil War could not, including a fierce pride in all that was left behind.
What kind of pride is this that characterizes a people devoted to an era not their own? Those who visit the Classic South will soon come to understand.
Beauty is a part of it, and elegance too. Hundreds of stately looking antebellum mansions grow more exquisite on the inside, where they are treasure troves for velvet and silk and china and crystal and silver and polish and everything that dazzles the eye.
Tradition is another trademark of the Classic South, and the tradition of education here has fostered the growth of the University of Georgia, a time-honored institution of higher learning.
Respect for the events of the past has inspired monuments to the confederacy: the Confederate Powder Works in Augusta, the Double-Barreled Cannon in Athens, and the Alexander Stephens Memorial Museum in Crawfordville.
Monuments to the economic and domestic sides of life are also found throughout this part of Georgia, such as the Eagle Tavern stage coach stop near Watkinsville and the Cotton Exchange and Old Slave Market Column in Augusta.
Beauty, elegance, tradition, honor ... exploring the Classic South means getting better acquainted with these values. It's a sweet, easy trip to take ... and one that leaves the traveler with some cherished memories of his own.

Colonial Coast
/

In 1733 General James Edward Oglethorpe and a small band of English colonists arrived at Yamacraw Bluff in what is now the city of Savannah, and Georgia history began. Though centuries have passed since their first settlements developed along Georgia's golden shoreline, the Colonial Coast continues to reflect their lifestyle in those early days.
Reminders of the past linger everywhere, from the nationally acclaimed 2Yz square mile historic Landmark District and the newly renovated historic Waterfront in Savannah to Cumberland Island National Seashore, the most southerly island off the
coast. Scattered in between are vestiges of the
Revolutionary War era such as Fort Frederica and the Midway Church and Museum, both
built in the 1730's; the 1871 St. Simon's Lighthouse and the restored Jekyll Club Village, used in the late 1880's as the exclusive resort of some of the world's wealthiest families.
Farther inland lies the vast and intriguing Okefenokee Swamp. For years, the Golden Isles and sun-drenched beaches along Georgia's Colonial Coast have been a favorite spot for swimming, sunning and fishing.
Even the beautifully manicured golf courses here are touched with a little history, such as Oceanside on Jekyll Island, the first ever built in Georgia.
Few can travel through Georgia's Colonial Coast without being swept up in an atmosphere of what once was, and remarkably, what still is. For this timeless appeal has been carefully preserved and is likely to endure for centuries more.

Heart of Georgia
The Heart of Georgia is a microcosm of the Georgia travel scene, providing in one central location something of almost everything the traveler will find elsewhere.
Metropolitan Macon can be appreciated for its magnificent restorations, the Grand Opera House and the 24-room Renaissance Hay House, as well as for the second largest planetarium in the Southeast.
Milledgeville is another city with history in the more than twenty early 19th century structures clustered around the Old Governor's Mansion. Nearby, in the Clinton Historic District, visitors will find a 19th century town untouched by modern development.
Deep in the Heart of Georgia lies Fort Val-
ley, pacesetter in peach production for the entire state.
Indian legends live near Macon in the Ocmulgee National Monument, the largest archeological restoration of Indian civilization in the East.
Literary legends are also represented in the Heart of Georgia, for this was the birthplac-e of Sidney Lanier, the South's most beloved poet, and the site of the Uncle Remus Museum honoring the famous critters of Joel Chandler Harris.
For those who like variety close at hand, the Heart of Georgia is the place to be, as an adventure in itself or as the gateway to a host of other Georgia travel opportunities. How can the traveler go wrong here, where all roads lead to more Georgia?

Plains Country

Plains Country is where rural Georgians take life easy, ignore the hectic pace of the big city in favor of wide open spaces, and in some cases, deliberately stop time.
The most famous small town in America is the focal point of Plains Country, and from there it is merely a few hours' drive to a number of other interesting attractions.
Time seems to stand still in the recreated 1850 frontier village of Westville, just 30 miles west of Plains in Lumpkin. A few miles farther is Providence Canyon, where time and the weather play sand-sculptor with a colorful geological phenomenon.
To the southeast of Plains lie two more places that turn back the clock. At Chehaw Wild Animal Park near Albany, wild animals roam their natural preserves free of the shackles or cages of a modern zoo, and at
the Georgia Agnrama in Tifton, history comes alive in the form of a late 19th century agricultural community.
More history can be found at Andersonville National Historic Site and in the beautifully restored homes of Columbus and Thomasville.
For the fisherman Plains Country offers a variety of lakes and ponds, and for the quail hunter there can be no better sports holiday than in Albany, the quail hunting capital of the world.
Now that the popularity of the Georgiagrown peanut and other local favorites is jit an all-time high, it would certainly be fun to spend a few days learning all about their roots. This calls for a trip to charming and rustic Plains Country, the Georgia vacation spot for enjoying the simple pleasures of life.

The Big A ... Atlanta and environs ... boldly dominates the impressive New South.
Center of contrasting elements and widely divergent lifestyles, the Big A projects an image of solidarity and depth.
History belongs as much to the present as it does to the past. Traditions blend with pacesetting ideas as easily as century-old mansions sit with mega-structured sky-
scrapers. The glamour and sophistication of the Big
A are tempered by a heavy dose of southern hospitality, whether it's in one of the world's finest hotels or a modest but comfortable inn. Country-style cuisine rivals the most elegant international fare, and shopping includes locally renowned establishments as well as exclusive designer boutiques.
Big A attractions are plentiful and varied: major sports, amusement parks, theatre and
symphony, resort complexes" museums and galleries, historic landmarks, nightlife, out-
door recreation, and much more. So much, in fact, that whatever your vaca-
tion wish, Georgia's Big A can make it come
true.

Hello! I'm Dasber tbe Brown Tbrasber, the Georgia State Bird and from my viewpoint I can see lots of wonderful things happening in Georgia.

1. Rock City has a swinging rope bridge, fairy land caverns, Mother Goose Village and a deer park. You won't believe your eyes when you see a boulder as big as a house balanced on a tiny rock.
2. At the "Big Shanty" Museum in Kennesaw you can see "The General", a famous Civil War locomotive. One hundred years ago during the war "The General" was stolen by northern raiders. The southern soldiers raced after it and saved the train which was needed to carry food to the army. Today you can see the train and pictures of all the men who took part in this daring locomotive chase through Georgia.
3. In the mountains of north Georgia there is a town called Dahlonega that was the home of the first major gold rush in America. In fact, Dahlonega is a Cherokee Indian word meaning "gold". The search for gold still goes on today and you can pan for gold and keep what you find just like the old timers. You can also take a ride on a pony or in a covered wagon.
4. At Stone Mountain Park you can get around on a steam railroad or a paddle-wheel riverboat. There is also an animal petting farm. If you would like to be up above the trees like me, take the sky-lift to the top of Stone Mountain for a bird's eye view of Georgia. It's too windy on top of the mountain for a bird to fly but kites love it!
5. There are crazy things to do and see at Six Flags Over Georgia. You can scream and yell all you wan t on fantastic rides like "Mo-Mo the Monster", and "The Great American Scream Machine". There is a special land for kids with lovable animals at Petsville and rides just your size like the minimine train and "The Jumping Frijoles" and each night during the summer at Six Flags the sky is lit up with fabulous fireworks.
6. There are strange animals from every continent on earth that live right here in Georgia at the Atlanta Zoo. You can visit with a goofy gorilla named Willy B and watch him make a monkey of himself and you can see a buffalo named Bill, a

60

black leopard named Gus, and Dilbeck the crocodile. Personally I do not fly too close to the zoo. They might decide to make irresistable me their main attraction!
7. When you get to Macon, ask your chauffeur to let you stop at the Ocmulgee National Indian Monument. That's pronounced, "Oc" as in oak tree, "mul" as in camel and "gee" as in piggy. Ocmulgee is the site Georgia's very first Indians settled. Remember to tell Mom and Dad to duck their heads when going through the passageway to get inside the earth lodge .. .it may be too low for them, but it will be just right for you. If you happen to visit Ocmulgee in the summer, you might be able to watch real Indians making colorful baskets and beads at the museum.
8. My feathered friends in the Southwest say Plains, Georgia is a busy spot because the President of the United States, Jimmy Carter, grew up there. At Plains you can visit all the spots that were important to Presiden t Carter when he was your age. You can walk the same streets he did when he sold hamburgers for a nickel and three scoops of ice cream for five cen ts.
9. At Chehaw Wildlife Park, you can powwow in an authentic reproduction of a Creek Indian village. Chehaw was once a small village named for the Chehaws, a sub tribe of the Creek Indians. Now it is a preserved wilderness where you can see wildlife in a safe, natural environment. On a walking trail you will come face to face with a jaguar or an anteater. You can watch him, watching you, watch him!
10. The Okefenokee is full of wonderful trees and flowers and beautiful birds (like myself), and it is the home of unusual animals like my friends Oscar the alligator and his sweetheart, Suzy. The Indians named the swamp "Okefenokee" a long time ago. In their language this funny word means "Land of Trembling Earth".
So you see, there are wonderful things going on in Georgia. Why do you thinks birds fly south every year? We are not birdbrains!

ENJOY GEORGIA
365 DAYS A YEAR!
Georgia is a state for all seasons as its climate is as versatile and enticing as the number of activities that can be enjoyed here. The state's latitude and proximity to the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic Ocean bring sunny summers and short, moderate winters. Summers are only slightly warmer than those in Chicago and New York areas. North Georgia winters are characterized by an average snowfall of about IV, inches. Spring comes to the Colonial Coast and Plains Country travel regions in mid-March - expect to see azaleas in full bloom in Savannah and at Callaway Gardens on St. Patrick's Day.
Georgia's mid-state travel regions: Heart of Georgia. Classic South and Big A-Atlanta begin to show their Spring colors in late March and early April. Atlanta usually turns out in full bloom for the April Dogwood Festival. Georgians like to say that "Spring Spends the Summer" in the mountains. Here. you'll find fall foliage at its peak beginning in mid-to-late October.
