The information in "Georgia On My Mind" is organized by Travel Regions and is actually broken into two major sections.. .the editorial section at the beginning of the publication featuring each of the nine Travel Regions and the Travel Directory, which includes extensive listings for attractions, entertainment, accommodations and food services listed alphabetically by towns within each region. Each of these sections opens with its own regional map. Other special services include listings of Bed & Breakfast Inns and Fairs & Festivals, a special fold-out about the state's Main Street Program and four-color spreads about the Gardens of Georgia and Black History.
Each Travel Region has its own color code, which is used in the Table of Contents, in the editorial and again in the Travel Directory. Use this color guide throughout to read about each Travel Region and then to make further detailed plans.

"Georgia On My Mind" Melodies bring memories That linger in my heart Make me think of Georgia
Why did we ever part? Some sweet day when blossoms fall
And all the world's a song I'll go back to Georgia
'Cause that's where I belong. Georgia, Georgia, the whole day through Just an old sweet song keeps Georgia on my mind.
Georgia, Georgia, a song of you Comes as sweet and clear as moonlight through the pines.
Other arms reach out to me Other eyes smile tenderly Still in peaceful dreams I see The road leads back to you. Georgia, Georgia, no peace I find Just an old sweet song keeps Georgia on my mind.

To come to Georgia's Gardens, green and glorious, is to seek asylum within the aphrodisiac of pristine splendor nature's emeralds.
Wrapped in an aura of year-round visual enchantment, Georgia is hostess to an abundant banquet of fragrance and color in her varied terrain from the mountains, through the heartland and south to the coast. In the past decade, the State, has emerged as a leading curator of nature's wonders.
Four major gardens form a belt of green that conserves endangered species, showcases the beauty of seasonal blooming and teaches the elegant legacy of nature.
ATLANTA BOTANICAL GARDENS
Less than a half-hour from Atlanta's Hartsfield International Airport near downtown is the Atlanta Botanical Garden, the home of the new Dorothy Chapman Fuqua Conservatory.
Featuring three distinct climate zones within the glass canopy, the Fuqua Conservatory plays to all 5 senses. Wandering through the lush, Tropical Rotunda into the arid Desert, the sights, smells and touch of the strange and exotic species exude far away lands of discovery and adventure. The rhapsodic fluttering of birds in the air space above adds sound and motion to the experience of fragrance, color and texture provided by the plants and flowers.
A fogging system sprays mist into the setting, creating a taste of fantasy of an ancient, primordial, dream-like scene.
The Rotunda features a fourteen-foot waterfall of volcanic lava surrounded by rare palms, endangered ferns and hundreds of color bearing exotic orchids.
CALLA WAY GARDENS
Seventy miles southwest of Atlanta is renowned Callaway Gardens. This vast natural heirloom offers miles of winding trails blending azaleas, rhododendrons, hollies and dogwood with wildflowers and manicured beds of seasonal selections resplendent in brilliant blooms.
The 5-acre John A. Sibley Horticultural Center is a unique multi-tiered greenhouse with landscaped footpaths that wind behind a cascading waterfall.
The Christmas season is woven in botanical fable as hundreds of poinsettias hang from the cap of glass overlooking an open garden filled with shrub-carved reindeer.
In 1988, Callaway Gardens heralded the opening of The Day Butterfly Center, the largest glass-enclosed butterfly conservatory in North America. Here, more than one-thousand tropical butterflies wearing kaleidoscope-like patterns, climb, dive, dip and spin in an endless ritual of reverance to the sun.
CAMELLIA GARDENS
Two hours south of Atlanta near the hamlet of Marshall ville is Camellia Gardens, headquarters of the American Camellia Society. This 7-acre garden is home to a repertoire of species of the fragrant and colorful camellia, which blooms November - March.
Adjacent to the gardens, an elegant glass and brick enclosure houses the largest and most complete collection of Boehm Porcelains in the world, including the life-sized, "Eagle of Freedom" created by Edward Marshall Boehm for the bicentennial.
Hidden along the paths is an authentic Japanese garden, complete with a tea house, hand-carved stone lanterns, cascading waterfalls and a Koi fish swimming lazily. The small enclosed garden offers a joyous retreat into solitude and serenity.
THE STATE BOTANICAL GARDENS OF GEORGIA Athens, northeast of Atlanta, is home to The State Botanical Gardens of Georgia. Two miles from the University of Georgia campus, this 293-acre preserve is the domain of Georgia's green frontier. Set in a forest along the scenic Oconee River, with its dramatic gorge-like ravines and spring-fed streams, the garden provides a perfect environment to collect, display and study the native rare plant life of the region.
The Conservatory features giant-sized tropical displays surrounded by man-made flowing streams and ponds.
Year-round the mystique of nature dressed in emerald green, splashes a canvas of colors that never ceases to bloom on the woodland floor of Georgia.
Come to Georgia's Gardens, green and glorious!

TWENTY years ago on July 4,1970, 110 runners braved the 6.2 mile course that was to become the now legendary and internationally celebrated Peachtree Road Race.
Atlanta's hardy, winged feet heroes pioneered the often hilly stretch from Lenox Square to Piedmont Park in sweltering heat. Every strike of every foot on famed Peachtree Street was a test of physical endurance and mental stamina.
Primitive as that first exercise in road racing proved for the spartan runners, the spirit in the challenge and the sweetness of victory survived. Thus was born Atlanta's famous Peachtree Road Race.
In many ways, the Peachtree Road Race symbolically parallels the history of Atlanta and her people, for there is no American city more entrenched in spirit and endurance than Atlanta, Georgia.
Founded in 1837 as a site for the southwestern terminal of the West-

ern and Atlantic Railroad, the city was first named Terminus. To honor the sitting governor, the name was changed to Marthasville, in tribute to his daughter. When it was discovered that the new name was too long to write on freight orders, the name was changed for the third and final time in 1847 to Atlanta.
Historians record that Stephen Long, chief engineer for the railroad, predicted that the site "would be good as a location for one tavern, a blacksmith shop, a grocery store and nothing else!"
Engineer Long's prediction proved to be as hollow as an empty bucket. In little more than a quarter of a century, Atlanta moved ahead of neighboring cities in the South and emerged as a busy center of transportation and agriculture. Prosperity was the keynote of the times and Atlanta's bustling business economy was complemented by splendid residential structures that graced

Underground Atlanta
the tree-lined streets and hill-laden countryside. Large colonial mansions with wide porches, verandas and magnificently lush gardens were abundantly displayed as a part of Atlanta's growing and changing landscape.
When the shot was fired in 1861 at Fort Sumter in neighboring South Carolina, Atlantans had little foresight as to what the War Between the States would bring. The fate of the city was resolved in 1864 when the Union juggernaut led by General Sherman cut a wide swath through the city and burned Atlanta to the ground.
With flames licking their coattails, Union soldiers continued their infamous March to the Sea, cutting a path of destruction through Georgia that can still be traced from the air.
Steeped in spirit and endurance, Atlanta, like its symbol, the mythical Phoenix bird, rose from its own ashes.
One hundred and twenty six years

after its destruction, Atlanta stands as the reigning leader in the developing new South. Not only does it support a viable international economy along with its strongly diversified regional foundations in banking, real estate, transportation, medicine and manufacturing, but it also has emerged as a major convention paradise and a booming tourist destination that offers an exciting and varied kaleidoscope of world class hotels, attractions, events and dining oases.
Atlanta is Southern fried chicken and grits, sophisticated shopping, mega-bucks and big time glitz.
Atlanta is fashionable and flashy. Atlanta is motion! Atlanta moves the world whether on a super jet flying in or out of Hartsfield International Airport, a cargo carrier, a railroad car or a 16wheeler loaded with Georgia made goods. Returning to its roots as a terminal site for the railroad, Atlanta has emerged as the transportation hub of the Southeast. At any given momen Hartsfield Airport ranks as either number one, two or three of the busiest airports in the world. Commercial flights enter Atlanta from all domestic gateways and from every major international gateway. Its reputation as a city to do business with is largely subsidized by its excellent accessibility to business and vacationing travelers. Hartsfield International Airport is just south of the city and is only a fifteen minute commute to the downtown business, financial and major hotel centers by cab or MARTA rapid-rail. As host to a myriad of major conventions, including the 1988 Democratic National Convention, and a ranking contender for the 1996 Olympics, Atlanta has a proven track record for courteous and expedient transportation services. Motorists driving can enter the city on one of three major interstate arteries, 1-75 and 1-85 running north and south and 1-20 running east and west. Exits to the inner city business districts, adjacent shopping and dining are well marked. Visitors to the city will find

Atlanta's MARTA's rapid-rail and bus transit system an easy and economical way to get around the town.
Tourists and business travelers have unlimited access to world class accommodations. Downtown is rich in rooms with the Ritz Carlton, Marriott Marquis, Westin Peachtree Plaza and Atlanta architect John Portman's flagship hotel, the Hyatt Regency Atlanta, all within walking distance. These properties are only a few of the hundreds of hotels and motels that are spread throughout the Atlanta area representing every major hospitality chain, including Days Inn of America, founded by the late Cecil B. Day of Atlanta.
It's rumored that a New York businessman once called a young associate into his office and told him that he was sending him to Atlanta for a two-day seminar in six weeks. The young man inquired as to the reason for such an advance notice and the boss replied, "To give you plenty of time to lose 10 pounds so that your suits will fit when you come back to New York." True or not, Atlanta's restaurants clearly qualify for gourmet gastronomical gluttony awards in every category.
Possibly no other region of the country embellishes and relishes good cooking as much as the South. Deriving its 2.5 million population from outlying rural areas, incoming business, financial, scientific and industrial white collar professionals, a burgeoning Hispanic colony, a growing Asian population and the old-line, native founding families, Atlanta is a melting pot of ethnic and regional culinary tastes.
While Mary Mac's Tea Room near the downtown business and government district serves up hot lunches of fried chicken, turnip greens, creamed corn, pot likker and cornbread, busy shoppers drop into The Fish Market at Lenox Square for a green salad of endive and bibb lettuce, black olives, sliced avocado, tossed with poppyseed dressing, a salmon mousse served with steamed baby carrots and a dessert of fresh raspberries and cream. Somewhere between down-home Southern cooking and elegant nouvelle cuisine

there are more than seven hundred restaurants catering to every whim and fancy of the taste buds.
At noontime on North Avenue in the shadow of the worldwide CocaCola headquarters, the famous Varsity opens to crowds of every age and every walk of life who line up to order Varsity hot dogs dressed with chili and cheese, onion rings and fried pies. In the northeast area, rich with office parks, workers spill into the Havana Sandwich Shop for a Cuban sandwich, yellow rice and a hearty black bean soup. Others stroll along park paths with frozen yogurt or walk to nearby neighborhood restaurants featuring Italian, Chinese, Mexican, Indian, Greek, Japanese and Southern Soul Food.
At sunset, the city empties of workers and the "BIG A" nightlife comes alive. From downtown Five Points to Buckhead, young and old alike dress-up or dress-down for one of Atlanta's finest Southern traditions dining out!
Atlanta's inner city, midtown and Buckhead areas are rich in attractions for visitors with varied interests and appetites for a variety of historical and present day treasures. Most of Atlanta's popular tourist attractions are located within five miles of the downtown hub of hotels.
The "BIG A" is possibly the only city in the world that can boast the opening of three major tourist attractions and the total renovation of a fourth in one calendar year. Atlanta can, and does.
Today, gleaming modern skyscrapers, climbing toward the heavens in bold patterns of marble and glass dress the Atlanta skyline with a superb flair of architectural dazzle. Beneath those modern symbols of the prosperous city lie the original streets of Atlanta, lower Alabama and lower Pryor. As the city grew from its humble beginnings around the railroad yard, buildings went up over the viaducts and overpasses leaving the original centers of commerce literally "under the ground!"
In the mid-1960's developers opened UNDERGROUND ATLANTA and promoted restaurants, specialty

THE FUNS BACK IN TOWN!

You won't believe all the fun, all the magic under and over the city's streets more than 130 shops, restaurants and nightclubs right at the heart of Atlanta's historic birthplace.
Take a stroll down a tree-lined promenade. Browse through restored turn-of-the-century shops. Wander through a colorful marketplace that's above and beneath Atlanta's streets.
Enjoy fine dining or a casual meal. And don't miss Kenny's Alley it's packed with good times, good food and great music, including Dixieland, country, rock,

jazz and even comedy. Shops are open 7 days
a week, Monday-Saturday, 10 a.m.-9:30 p.m.; Sunday, Noon-6 p.m. Restaurant and club hours vary.

Georgia's Black Heritage

REV. MARTIN LUTHER RING, JR.

1929 -- 1968

/,

Free at last. Free at last. f Thank God Almighty I m Free at last. ,,'

The rich, bitter-sweet history of African-Americans weaves a vibrant texture through the fabric of our nation. Countless contributions in the arts, science, business and politics by citizens of African descent have enhanced American society and enriched the soul of civilization.
No region of our great nation can lay greater claim as an originator and beneficiary of such contributions than the South.

CITY OF SPECIAL SIGNIFICANCE FOR AFRICAN-AMERICANS
Atlanta, state capital and hub of the New South, was a crucible of the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s. That era's towering moral and spiritual leader was a native Georgian, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. America's "drum major for justice," he awakened the conscience of the nation and altered the course of world history.
Dr. King's childhood home and final resting place are located in Atlanta near the Martin Luther King, Jr. Center for Nonviolent Social Change and Ebenezer Baptist Church, where he shared the pulpit with his father for many years.
Embracing the King Center and the church is the Sweet Auburn Historic District, heart and pride of black Atlanta from the 1890s to the mid 1900s. This business, residential and entertainment enclave around Auburn Avenue was the home of WERD, the nation's first black-owned commercial radio station, and includes the current headquarters of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference. Today, the entire area is enjoying a rebirth, drawing visitors from around the world to experience the rich heritage of Sweet Auburn.
The African-American Panoramic Experience (APEX) Museum, another Sweet Auburn attraction, boasts an impressive collection of art and artifacts. One exhibit seats visitors in a 1905 trolley car, and treats them to an audiovisual presentation narrated by Cicely Tyson and Julian Bond. Another remarkable display, an authentic reproduction of a 1920s drugstore, provides a glimpse of African-American entrepreneurism three generations ago.
Hammonds House -- a beautiful 19th Century East Lake Victorian home in Atlanta's West End community -- was the residence of the late art patron, Dr. 0. T. Hammonds. The gallery features traveling exhibits by noted artists and permanent displays which include an excellent Romare Bearden collection and an impressive suite of Haitian works.
The nearby Atlanta Universtiy Center is a world-renowned consortium of historically black institutions, which have educated and inspired leaders for more than a century. Spelman, Morehouse, Morris Brown and Clark Atlanta University are names which echo generations of intellectual achievement and scholarly contribution by people of color.
Located adjacent to the Atlanta University Center, Hemdon Home stands as a testimonial to the irrepressible business genius of Americans of African descent. The Beaux Arts Classical mansion, designed and built in 1910 by Alonzo Franklin Hemdon, a former slave, features collections of antique furniture, Roman and Venetian glass, silver and other art.
Herndon, who opened a barber shop after the Civil War and became one of America's foremost black entrepreneurs, founded the Atlanta Life Insurance Company, today the industry's second largest black-owned business.
Atlanta, also home to an active community of artists and performers, originated the one-of-a-kind National Black Arts Festival. Scheduled next for summer 1990, this celebration of the visual and performing arts spotlights accomplished artists and performers and attracts visitors from across the country and beyond.
GEORGIA BEYOND ATLANTA
The many other unique attractions of Atlanta reflect only part of the state's rich African-American heritage. Georgia beyond Atlanta offers many experiences of special interest. Here are just a few.
In Macon, the Harriet Tubman Historical and Cultural Museum is named for the dauntless woman who escaped slavery and then risked her life time after time to lead hundreds of other African-Americans to freedom on the now-famous Underground Railroad. The Tubman Museum features exhibits of arts and crafts from around the world, including a mural which chronicles the voyage of black people from historical Africa to contemporary America.
Savannah, a focal point of Georgia's coast, counts among its many attractions First African Baptist Church, organized in 1788 as the first black church in the United States. The church's current home, built in 1859, houses an African-American Museum. Laurel Grove Cemetery, another of the city's historical sites, is a final resting place for black soldiers who died in the Civil War, as well as many prominent African-Americans of this century.
Come explore your roots in American history. And catch a glimpse of the future -- in Georgia.

MDWAY between the moun tains and the sea lies the Classic South, a quiet, unhurried land of white-columned mansions and quaint city squares, game-filled forests and pristine rivers and lakes. It is a land of timeless beauty and charm, an unspoiled region known for its cultural sophistication and elan as well as its proud historical heritage and outdoor recreational appeal.
For those in search of good times, the Classic South is the place to be. Here you can ramble down shady, wisteria-scented country lanes, sip mint juleps on the veranda of an antebellum plantation, thrill to the thunderous cries of the Hunt Master on a fox chase, munch on some of the world's tastiest barbecue and boogie the night away beneath starstudded skies along Augusta's famed new Riverwalk Complex.
But it is the soft whisper of the past -- old times gone, but not for

gotten -- that keeps drawing millions of visitors back to the Classic South each year. It is a past teeming with battlefields and grist mills, folklore and adventure, ruffians and heroes. While much of the romance and mystique of the Old South may have withered elsewhere, here amid the gently rolling hills and uncluttered landscape of East Central Georgia, handsome cities and rural commu nities pre-dating the Civil War and even the Revolutionary Era are busy preserving a vanished way of life.
Never far away is Augusta, Geor gia's second-oldest city and the state's second-largest metropolitan area. Explosive, yet controlled growth over the years has trans formed this former colonial capital into the Garden City of the South, a dynamic, modern metropolis cling ing tenaciously to its delicate links to the past.
In frontier times, Fort Augusta served as a remote trading outpost.

Fox Hunt, Thomson, Georgia
Following the Revoluh'on, millions of tons of King Cotton were hustled downriver from Augusta's busy waterfront district to buyers all over the world. Today the Riverfront's elegant new public plaza and board walk is the center of much social activity, featuring trendy new night clubs, ice cream stores, antique shops and even an authentic English pub. Each summer, the city which bills itself as the watersports' capital of the Southeast, hums with the Augusta Invitational Rowing Regatta, River Race Augusta and the Augusta Southern Nationals.
Reflecting the city's long and color ful history are six distinct historic districts, which can be toured by bus, car, bike, on foot or by trolley. Comfortable riverboat rides aboard the Princess Augusta offer city sights from a unique perspective. Two blocks from the river is Broad Street, an antique shopper's mecca; scores of shops line the broad, shady

riding. At Thomson, 30 miles west of Augusta on 1-20, one can find plenty of each, from the scenic Belle Meade fox hunting country, to the Rock House, a 1785 stone dwelling built by Wrightsborough Quakers, and Alexandria, an elegant Virginiastyle brick house built in the early 1800's.
Just up State Highway 78 is Washington, the first city in the nation named in honor of George Washington. One word of advice to those anticipating a visit here -- bring a camera and plenty of film. Within the city limits itself are four National Register Districts, 14 indi vidually listed properties and two National Landmarks. In Washing ton, the ghostly footfalls of history -are ever-present. It was here that President Jefferson Davis met with his Confederate cabinet for the last time on May 5,1865; it was here that the country's first woman news paper editor was hired; and it was here also that the first woman was hanged in Georgia.
Those in pursuit of historical gran-

boulevard, said to be the widest thoroughfare in the country.
Museums and handsome houses abound in Augusta. Particularly noteworthy is "the Hill" district of historic Summerville, built as a sum mer retreat for the rich and famous by John D. Rockefeller. Oldetown, a revitalized section closer to the river, boasts one of the largest neighbor hoods of Victorian homes and com mercial structures in the state. One of the city's most impressive land marks is the Confederate Gunpow der Works, the only existing struc ture commissioned by the Confeder ate States of America. Nearby is the picturesque Sacred Heart Cultural Center, a striking example of late Romanesque Revival architecture claiming 15 distinctive patterns of brick work and stained glass win dows imported from Germany.
Other "must's" to see in Augusta are the Ezekiel Harris House, an authentically furnished 18th century tobacco merchant's home; Meadow Garden, the home of George Walton, one of Georgia's signers of the

Declaration of Independence; the Old Government House, built in 1801; Ware's Folly, built at the unheard of cost of $40,000 in 1818; and St. Paul's Episcopal Church, which marks the site of colonial Fort Augusta built by General James Edward Oglethorpe in 1736. Archi tecture buffs will not want to miss the Cotton Exchange Building, 8th and Reynolds Streets, a stunning Victorian masterpiece that recalls the city's once-booming cotton trade. Augusta was once the world's sec ond-largest inland cotton market.
Each spring Augusta bursts into spectacular bloom with the greatest game in golf -- the Masters Tourna ment. Bobby Jones picked Augusta himself for his dream course in 1931; since then, golfing and Augusta have become synonomous, attract ing famous movie stars, athletes, artists and politicians -- including several United States Presidents.

United States and do not wish to be suspected of loyalty."
More plantation homes can be found in Sparta and Hancock coun ties, including Glen Mary Planta tion, once owned by the grandson of Ethan Alien; the 1820 BaxterWiley House; the John S. Jackson Plantation built in 1848; and the Britt-Rountree-Hollis House, built in 1786. During antebellum days, Hancock County claimed almost 100 fine homes, 30 of which were located within the city limits. Today, a jour ney down Sparta's narrow streets and backroads provides a wonderful vision of the romantic past, recalling the days when cotton was truly king.
When it comes to birthing gover nors, Waynesboro and Burke counties claim the unofficial state title. No fewer than 10 state chief executives have made the "Bird Dog Capital of the World" their home at one time or another. In nearby Swainsboro, each May, thousands of outsiders

Louisville's intriguing history began in 1786 when it was construc ted and patterned as a miniature replica of Philadelphia. Named after Louis XVI of France, the small settle ment became the state's first perma nent capital from 1795-1806. The Old Slave Market, built in 1758 from sturdy hand-hewn oak, is the county's major tourist attraction.
The lapping waves of Clarks Hill Lake almost surround rural Lincoln County. As a result, this clean, tidy region of the Classic South has become a nature lover's paradise. Swimming, playgrounds, picnic areas, campsites, hiking and boating facilities abound in this historic region known throughout the South as deer and quail country.

THE workaday world slips quietly into limbo inside the haven of Georgia's coastal realm. Long, lazy rivers crease the flat, fertile timberland, forming highways into the hinterlands for early settlers and paths of pure pleasure for today's outdoorsmen and adventurers.
Offshore islands dense with pine and palms dot the hundred-mile shoreline between Savannah and St. Marys. Slim concrete tentacles bridge the mesmerizing marshes and waving seas of cordgrass between their western shores and the mainland. Facing the rising sun, feisty Atlantic whitecaps snuggle up to sugar-fine sands -- some of the most glorious, and pristine, beaches on the entire eastern seaboard.
Moss-hung oaks and palmetto thickets shelter historic sites and homes, the haunts of soldiers, slaves, Indians, pirates, plantation owners, robber barons, and Amer ican presidents.

Cumberland Island Ferry, St. Marys

Here, European ambience meets downhome hospitality. Urban treats like upscale shopping, sophisticated dining and first-class cultural events complement such rustic treats as fishing camps, Civil War forts and shrimp boats on the horizon.
Five state parks put nighttime stars overhead while antebellum bed and breakfast inns provide plump pillows for sweet dreams of yesteryear. Posh resorts and moder ately-priced motels round out the lodging options.
In southeast Georgia you can fill your tummy with any kind of food and boy! will you enjoy the annual crayfish, rock shrimp and catfish festivals -- just a few of the humdinger-good-time celebrations of the region's arts, crafts and heritage.
Savannah is the matchless wed ding of past and present. Founded two hundred fifty-seven years ago as England's last colony in the New World, her hearty laughter bursts in

undiminished peals as she bids an unreserved welcome to one and all.
Warehouses of mellow brick and weathered wood have exchanged their 19th-century stores of cotton for convivial places to shop, dine, socialize and imbibe. They line River Street, a cobblestoned thoroughfare along the Savannah River that sets the scene for monthly parades, fire works, concerts, and other events. Jazz, food, and beer festivals spill over into City Market, another restored nucleus that mixes latenight spots with art galleries and craftsmen's studios. St. Patrick's Day revelries rival New York's, and December ushers in a packed calen dar of holiday cheer.
The city's Colonial heart beats around twenty-one squares rife with parks, fountains and inviting beaches, and rich with fine 18th and 19th century townhouses. Half a dozen mansions are open for tours; another twenty or so open their

Fourlane 1-95 is the fast route to Brunswick and the more southerly resort islands. But who's in a hurry? U.S. Hwy. 17 meanders through the back lanes of time.

GEORGIA ON MY MIND 1990

St. Simons Island manages to tuck away mementoes from several cen turies. Lush resorts, vacation condos, swank golf courses, horse stables, marinas, plenty of tennis, sophisticated shops, and a wide choice of restaurants and night spots cater to the here-and-now demands of today's "active" loafers.
In the small-town village, com plete with a community park and fishing pier, one hundred twentynine steps lead to sweeping views from the 1872 lighthouse; exhibits in the former keepers' cottage chroni cle island lore.
Intrigue and derring-do steal along the same paths that bathers take to the sun-washed beaches. The English sailed south from Savannah in 1736 to build Fort Frederica, still standing on a secluded, snakelike curve of the Frederica River. And in 1742 they routed the Spanish, once and for all, at the now-silent site of the Battle of Bloody Marsh. After duelling Alex ander Hamilton to death, Aaron Burr took refuge here with friends.

beeline for its enchanted shores. From St. Simons, Sea Island lies
only a heartbeat away across a thin strip of marsh, but its fame is rooted in the easy affluence and to-themanor-born elegance of the Gilded Age. Within the tiny, privately owned domain nestles the Spanishstyle Cloister, a top-flight resort that has earned the highest accolades since opening in 1928.
It's easy to see why. The long list of activities, from bridge and ball room dancing to skeet and trap shooting, is just the beginning. On Sea Island, it isn't so much what happens as how, which usually is with grace, ease, and savior faire.
Guests return like the tides to Lit tle St. Simons Island, lured by the chance to forsake all the high-tech ties that bind: telephones, tv's and vcr's. Ten minutes from St. Simons by boat lie 10,000 isolated, privatelyowned acres -- just you, an un touched beach, a stable full of horses, an old family lodge, a staff both personable and knowledge able, and no more than twenty-three other guests at a time.

Wander the shady paths, fish and canoe the creeks, swim the Olympicsize pool, take in the naturalist-led tours and lectures, sample the homestyle cooking, then fall asleep in comfortable quarters to the mur mur of frogs and cicadas. Never has the world dropped away so com pletely, or time slipped by so quickly.
Cumberland completes Georgia's pantheon of barrier islands. The jumping off point is St. Marys, a quintessential small Southern town that has remained in slow motion despite the bustle surrounding the build-up of nearby Kings Bay Naval Submarine Base.
St. Marys' significant antebellum wealth dates to 1801 and includes an unexpected sidelight: the famous Toonerville Trolley of comic strip fame. Yet, the focal point remains the St. Marys River at the foot of Osborne Street. Fishermen drop their lines from a sheltered pavilion, shrimp boats tie up after the day's run, and the Cumberland Queen awaits its daily load of three hun dred daytrippers -- the maximum

number of people allowed to visit the special slice of paradise forty-five minutes offshore.
The federal government protects most of eighteen-mile-long Cumber land Island as a National Seashore; to walk the deserted sands and swim : the vacant waters, to hike the wood- | land trails, to spy a gator, a deer or an armadillo, is to step into a vanish ing and unvarnished environment.
Man, of course, once was here. Thomas Carnegie, Andrew's brother, owned Cumberland and the ruins of his thirty-room Dungeness are a prime attraction on the well-marked walking trail. (Foot power is the only mode of transportation.) The sum mer homes of various clan heirs lie scattered about the island, and one has been turned into a cozy inn. Others who wish to linger overnight must rough it at primitive campsites. The waiting list proves that plenty do!
Ready for another novel experi ence? This one's on dry land . . . sort of. Deep, dark and sometimes mys terious -- but far from dank and dangerous -- the Okefenokee

Swamp is one of nature's unusual creations.
Two rivers, the Suwannee and the St. Marys, flow through the shallow, 950-square-mile basin, keeping it "flushed," renewed and ever-chang ing. A wealth of plant, fish, bird, and animal life flourishes within the terrain. Tall, dense stands of cypress are interspersed with flat, open "prairies" dotted with patches of vegetation that only look solid. One step and you'll see why Seminole Indians bestowed upon it their word for "Land of the Trembling Earth."
Three entrances provide not only access to the swamp but a wealth of recreational and educational oppor tunities. Depending upon the loca tion, you'll find boardwalks into the fringes of the Okefenokee, observa tion towers for panoramic views, orientation films and exhibits, guided tours, nature trails, and boat rentals to proceed at your own pace -- including overnights on solid ground or wooden platforms with facilities -- into the primeval wilderness.
A special feature at the East En trance, near Folkston, is the Chesser Island Homestead, graphic testimony to the self sufficiency of pioneer families who relied on the swamp for every phase of their existence.
Stephen C. Foster State Park (named, fittingly, for the author of "Way Down Upon the Suwannee River") hugs the West Entrance near Fargo, and contains cottages as well as camp sites.
It takes a while to absorb the swamp in all its facets and nuances. If time is short, your best bet is the North Entrance, also known as the Okefenokee Swamp Park. Admis sion to the private park near Waycross covers a narrated boatride, animal observation posts, a serpentarium, and a recreated homestead, not to mention Oscar, the 800pound pet alligator who roams at will.
Waycross boasts a variety of motels and some interesting ways to while away your time. Regional memora bilia fills the Okefenokee Heritage Center, while exhibits at Southern Forest World focus on the logging

IF all you ask of a vacation is every thing -- or if you like to savor one or two good things at a time -- Geor gia's Historic Heartland, with infi nite variety and genuine southern charm and hospitality, is the place for you. Here rich southern heritage and a vital, contemporary lifestyle blend in the preservation of colorful history and an interesting, vibrant present. An easily accessible desti nation by interstate highways or for travelers flying into Atlanta's Hartsfield International Airport in Clayton County, the Heartland has a mild year-round climate, excellent highways and accommodations with amenih'es and tempos to meet the traveler's needs and desires.
For your pleasure, the Heartland offers two well-marked trails which incorporate many of the attractive places in the region. Both can be approached with ease from all points of the compass, and from the Peach Blossom or the Antebellum

Trail. Departure from the main thor oughfares often reveals charming surprises!
The Peach Blossom Trail is reached quickly from 1-75 and from Atlanta's Hartsfield International Airport via a short drive to Jonesboro and the land of "Gone With The Wind." Fact and legend abound in the area, site of the railhead from which refugees fled burning Atlanta, and the point through which part of General Sherman's army made its March to the Sea. The Peach Blossom Trail leads through a section of Georgia rich in Confederate lore, with glimpses also of Victorian life and a resurgent twentieth century Georgia: Hampton and McDonough, Griffin, Barnesville, Forsyth and Roberta into the very heart of the Peach State's peach industry in the Fort Valley-Byron area. Each community along the way has places to see and know and stories to tell. The Trail ends with a loop including

the American Camellia Society's Gardens and Boehm Porcelain col lection, the exciting Museum of Aviation at Warner Robins and the Georgia Agricenter at Perry, site of the Georgia National Fair to be inaugurated in 1990.
The Antebellum Trail follows U.S. 441 & 129 & GA 22 and covers terri tory traversed by the eastern troops in Sherman's march. Its head is reached easily from 1-85 and via U.S. 29 or 78 from Atlanta. Discover the nation's oldest chartered state uni versity, the University of Georgia, and the Greek Revival homes that grew up around Athens; the Eagle Tavern of Watkinsville; the antebel lum town of Madison; the gracious town of Eatonton; Georgia's antebel lum capital, Milledgeville; the his toric homes of Clinton, preserved as they were before the War Between the States; Macon with its Greek Revival mansions, historic homes and churches; and old Jarrell Planta-

INTRODUCING GEORGIA'S

D You'll find one in every town. But these Main Streets are >ecial. As participants in Georgia's Main Street Program, )th the cities and the people who live in them have shown temselves to be committed to revitalizing and preserving ie integrity of their downtown areas. Since the inception the program in 1976,26 Georgia cities have been desigited as Main Street Cities. And the charm and economic tality they've brought back to their Main Street areas iake any visit well worth the trip.

Known as "The Carpet Capit; of the World," Dalton is home to
more than 200 carpet manufac turers and 150 mill outlets. The revitalized downtown shopping district features over 80 stores ar boutiques with a wide variety of merchandise. A number of histor buildings are here or close by,
including the Crown Gardens am Archives, and Prater's Mill, site of the biannual Prater's Mill Country Fair.

Downtown Madison comprises a major portion of one of Georgia's first historic districts. Lined with restored and preserved businesses,
shops, and municipal buildings, it is a veritable outdoor museum. History buffs from all over the world enjoy Victorian, Greek Revival, Federal, Georgian and
Antebellum architecture, still on display thanks to General Sherman who refused to burn Madison on
his famous "March To The Sea."

entire duuntuun historic
n Rome has been restored gant Victorian past with ampposts, benches, and dkways. Trolley rides, iving tours or evening
' tours of the district are e to visitors. Within the ed buildings are shops and es with an amazing array s to buy Dining choices om southern style cook-
?gional Italian cuisine.

The recently restored Grand
Theatre is the centerpiece for Main Street Cartersville. Built as an opera house at the beginning of the century, the Grand is now home to Cartersville's Opera Guild. The
city also boasts the first Coca-Cola painted wall sign, painted in 1894 on the side of Young Brothers Pharmacy, which invites the numerous daily visitors to come
in and have a Coke.

Cedartown's historic downtown
business district contains examples of late 1800's and early 1900s style architecture. The Hawkes Childrens' Library, circa 1918, St. James Episcopal Church, circa
1884, and the stone building of the Women's Federation, area 1936 at Big Spring Park, the source of Cedartown's drinking water and
much of its history dating back to Indian times.

Commerce, the setting for Olive Ann Burns' highly successful novel and made-for-TV movie, Cold Sassy Tree, has much of its downtown listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Committed to retaining its small town southern
charm, the city is prospering within the context of historic preservation.

Winder is a county seat, but it also owes much of its growth to the railroad that runs through it. In recognition of that the Chamber
of Commerce renovated the quaint passenger depot and uses it as its headquarters. Just across the tracks, a thriving downtown boasts retail stores, shops, boutiques, and a
healthy collection of antique shops.

A classic, like the city it's named for, Athens' Main Street area is a lively combination of college, shop ping, dining, entertainment and southern hospitality. Highlighted by the restoration of handsome, historic buildings and bordering
the original quadrangle of the University of Georgia, Downtown Athens is an exciting melting pot. Athens is also home to special events and festivals year 'round, coming alive with food, music
and fun.

Washington, too, managed to escape General Sherman's fiery wrath and has preserved a great many of its fine old homes for vis itors to see. It has done the same with its Main Street area, preserv ing or restoring the Victorian store
fronts and creating a quaint little shopping district within a pleasant
walk of a number of the historic sites.

Visitors may be struck by a sense of deja vu as they stroll
through Covington's Main Street area. For it is these restored build ings, quaint shops, stately homes, and beautifully preserved 1884 courthouse we see each week in the hit television series "In The Heat Of The Night," as well as in
numerous other television shows and movies that have been filmed
here and in the surrounding area over the past few years.

wntown Carrollton boasts ly building in West Georgia ed by well-known Georgia
;ct Neel Reid. Featuring elefrom both the Georgian and lianate styles, the building
home to the Carrollton mnity Activities Center.

Newnan's 9-block historic com mercial Court Square has a number of renovated 1800's shops as well as some impressive public build ings. Driving tours of the antebel lum residential areas with their tree-shaded lawns and lovely old homes are also available.

Griffin's tree-lined downtown has been designated as an Historic District and is listed on the National
Register. Retail merchants, profes sional offices, financial institutions and restaurants are housed in beau
tifully renovated Victorian buildings.

You can take a trolley ride right through Milledgeville's historic district with its excellent examples of Federal, Greek Revival, Victorian
and other types of architecture. As you tour this city that was Georgia's Capital from 1803-1868, you'll find plenty of unique shop
ping opportunities and a lot of friendly folks to welcome you.
Don't miss the Old Governor's Mansion, built around 1836 and painstakingly restored in 1967.

Thomaston, just due south of Atlanta, has a picturesque down town business district set off by
one of Georgia's most magnificent courthouses, constructed in 1908
and designed by noted courthouse architect Frank Milburn.

The "jewel" of Main Street Americus is the ambitious renova tion of the majestic 1892 Windsor Hotel. Scheduled for completion in late 1990, the 5-story Victorian wonder is being reborn into a 53-room bed and breakfast facility and features a 3-story atrium, round tower rooms, suites, balconies, parlors, and a second story dining/ballroom.

Cordele had its beginnings as early as 1864 when Georgia's war time Governor, Joe Brown, fled the troops of General Sherman's
march and stored the State records at his farm in south Georgia. That farm is now the Main Street City
of Cordele. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the
downtown is aggressively preserv ing its heritage.

Every May, the streets of Vidalia fill with merrymakers for the annual Sweet Onion Festival. Known the world over for their mild sweet taste, Vidalia onions have brought recognition and a flock of visitors to this interesting Main Street City.

#

Hinesville, founded in 1S35, atures a charming Main Street lopping district, beautifully land-
:aped parks, and fine dining. One istaurant is housed in a bank uilding built in 1911. The Main :reet headquarters are located in
ic Old Liberty County Jail, built 11892 and used as jail until 1971.

At the core of Tifton's Main Street area are a number of excit ing National Register buildings,
including a refurbished grand hotel, a cotton warehouse complex, a gallery of interesting specialty shops in a restored turn-of-thecentury hardware store, and an old-fashioned barber shop where
a shave and a haircut are still a bargain.

Downtown Douglas generates a balanced feeling of American heritage and "present day" devel opment. While in Douglas visit the Old Theater (now Civic Audi torium) for one of its many produc
tions. Every November Douglas celebrates the Pig Jig Fall Festival, a wealth of barbecue, Brunswick stew, fun and entertainment in
the Main Street area.

Waycross, at the edge of the famed Okefenokee Swamp with its large alligator population, is host to the annual Pogofest in honor of the Okefenokee's most famous citizen, the comic strip character Pogo. Every October visitors pour into the refurbished
Main Street area for a full sched ule of entertainment, sports and cultural events.

Looking down Bay Street in the heart of Old Town Brunswick (listed on the National Register of Historic
Places in 1978), you can see the shrimp boats come in. A fishing village and port since its founding in the mid-1700's. Brunswick is now
the shrimp capital of the world. Still, it retains much of its Old World character right down to the
English street names that abound in the Historic District.

Moultrie's Courthouse Square with its 75-year-old magnolia trees is located in the heart of downtown, along with unique and exciting res taurants, antiques, and buildings boasting an interesting variety of architectural styles. The Old Colquitt County Jail, currently being restored, is a castle-like structure that is one of the most photo graphed buildings in the area. With its wide, tree-lined streets, stately homes and rich southern traditions, Moultrie invites travelers to visit the city and the Sunbelt Exposi tion held in October of every year.

Thomasville, one of the first Main Street USA members in Georgia, is today a gracious south
ern town with a rich heritage of preservation including the brickpaved downtown, the tree-lined
sidewalks, and the period lamp posts. Every April, the roses bloom, and the nationally known Rose
Festival fills the town with beauty and visitors.

The Crescent House, built around the turn of the century, is
one of Valdosta's finest examples of the Greek Revival style archi tecture visitors so often associate
with the Old South. It is in one of three National Register Historic Districts which include the Down town Main Street area, an historic
shopping district with more than 125 stores and restaurants.

French Huguenots and other Euro peans moved from the coast and built towns and farms along the Mid lands' many rivers.

Fitzgerald, in Ben Hill County, is a living monument to our wounded nation's restoration. The town was the inspiration of Union veteran and newspaper publisher P.H.

SOMETHING miraculous hap pens to downcast spirits exposed to the sorcery of the Northeast Geor gia Mountains. Like a fugitive shed ding his shackles, problems that loom monumental in a city's tumult of freeways and rushing crowds drop magically away at the first sight of the Blue Ridge and Appalachians mantled in morning mists or silhouetted against a splendid sunset.
Some mountains intimidate with their lordly majesty. Northeast Geor gia's mountains are older and wiser, gentle and ever welcoming. They beckon to adventure awhile on peaceful lakes and wildly rushing whitewater rivers, to hike through deep forests, to pause for a picnic by a waterfall or highland stream, and to linger longer at a rustic lodge, a state park or luxurious resort. Along the way, hardwoods and pines whisper of myths and legends, tall tales and traditions handed down by people who've lived in these

Mountain lakes are made for fun. Lanier and Hartwell, veritable inland seas, bustle year round with fisherfolk, boaters, swimmers and waterskiers. Other lakes are small and tranquil, hidden away like pirate treasure for those adventur ous enough to seek them out. Lake Rabun and Lake Burton are twins, born in the 1920s when the Tallulah River was caught behind a dam at the resort town of Tallulah Falls. Driving along U.S. 441, you're com pelled to peer into the 2,000-foot chasm of Tallulah Gorge and wonder what went through Karl Wallenda's mind as he tightroped across in 1970.
Mountain cities, like mountain folk, have their own special flavor.
In the late 1820s, the hills around Dahlonega swarmed with sour doughs taking part in our young nation's first bonafide gold rush. The Courthouse Gold Museum in the center of Dahlonega's fetching town square recalls this colorful chapter of early Georgia history. Although the great mines are long silent, there's still enough glitter to pan at recreated mining sites.
At Cleveland's Babyland General Hospital, some very special babies, known around the world as Cab bage Patch Kids, are "born" with appropriate fanfare and admiring "ooh's" and "aah's." The Foxfire books, now chronicling the lore and legends of the mountains' many

languages, were born at Dillard's Rabun Gap-Nacoochee School.
Clarkesville is renowned for its mountain craft stores, Elberton for its granite, and Habersham County for apples introduced by English and Canadian families in the 1920s. Habersham also cultivates enough grapes to warrant a winery. Braselton, in Jackson County, boasts a pair of wineries. (The town itself was recently purchased lock, stock, gen eral mercantile and all, by film actress Kirn Basinger).
Northeast Georgia mountain ham lets resound the year round with festivals paying homage to apples, autumn, American independence, granite, gold, gospel and Appala chian folk music. For 12 days every August, the Georgia Mountain Fair swells Hiawassee's population of 1,985 several thousandfold. In Sep tember and October, oom-pah bands, folk dancers and armies of merry makers flock to Helen's yearly Oktoberfest. Whatever the season, you're bound to find a fair, festival or holiday celebration going on some where in these mountains.
With all these festivities and such wondrous surroundings, the North east Georgia Mountains are natur ally home to some of Georgia's most popular state parks. Hart and Tugaloo parks sit beside the shores of Lake Hartwell. Victoria Bryant, near Royston, offers a golf course, swim-

Black Rock Mountain State Park spreads in brawny grandeur across a 3,600foot Blue Ridge crest. Moccasin Creek's boat ramps, campsites and trout hatchery overlook Lake Bur ton. Just beyond Helen's Alpine roof tops, Unicoi State Park is a sanctuary of highlands and woodlands, lakes, streams and blissful tranquility. Anna Ruby Falls thunders over the lip of Tray Mountain, down a scenic winding road from Unicoi's lodge, cottages and campsites.
Helen and Unicoi are gateways to one of the mountain curators most celebrated rivers, The Chattahoochee. The Richard Russell Scenic Highway (GA 348) carries us on an awesome 14.1-mile journey over ridges and deep valleys, across the Appalachian Trail, to the threshold of Georgia's loftiest peak. A paved road leads to a parking area 930 feet below Brasstown Bald's 4,784-foot summit. From there, one can hike or catch a summertime van to the top for a wrap-around view of Northeast Georgia and our neighboring states.
Cradled by green mountains, beside idyllic Lake Trahlyta, Vogel State Park, south of Blairsville, is another beguiling oasis for swim ming, boating, fishing, and camp ing. At Neels Gap, down U.S. 19/129 from Vogel, test your hiking feet on the Appalachian Trail, which passes through a covered breezeway at the Mountain Crossing/Walasi-Yi Center.
Amicalola Falls State Park, between Jasper and Dahlonega, is the starting point for adventurers bound to trek all 70 of Georgia's Appalachian Trail miles. If you're one of that hardy company, be forewarned that many a stalwart has taken one look at Amicalola's majestic 729-foot cataract and been too mesmerized to walk another mile. It comes naturally to spirits, downcast and otherwise, exposed to the sorcery of Northeast Georgia's Mountains.

GEORGIA ON MY MIND 1990

F3R some 450 years visitors to Georgia's Great Northwest have fallen prey to the haunting call of a region rich in natural beauty with an abiding aura of hospitality. The essence of mystery and adventure in this upcountry region of moun tains and more cannot be explained. It must be experienced. Spanish explorer Hernando deSoto led the first recorded "tour" of the area in 1539 and found it so much to his liking that he even lingered for sev eral weeks on the banks of the Coosa River near present day Rome.
And still they come . . . Northwest Georgia --19 counties, some 5,000 square miles; Georgia's second busiest travel region -- still beckons to visitors worldwide. But what is there about this triangleshaped corner of America's 13th colonial colony that entices one to experience the finest that Northwest Georgia has to offer? Diversity . . . Heritage. . . Warmth . . . Action . . .

Individually, these words are meaningless. Collectively, they offer graphic insight into why thousands of visitors from around the globe tarry for a time in the locale. Guest registers at the Tallapoosa and Ringgold Visitor Information Cen ters are lingering testimony to the individuals from all 50 states and many foreign countries who have taken a tiny bit of Northwest Georgia back to their homes -- forever enriched by the experience.
Northwest Georgia is mountains and plains; recreational lakes and spring-fed streams; metropolitan cities and vast wilderness regions. It is renowned for its theme parks and secluded hiking trails; convention facilities and quaint bed and break fasts. Rustic cottages and opulent estates, gourmet restaurants and roadside drive-ins call out to the traveler, while interstate express ways and classic country lanes wind, dip and entertain as they

Mountain Tranquility, Jasper
deliver the traveler. Northwest Geor gia is a viable, breathtaking kaleido scope of things to see and do. It is occasional glimpses into tomorrow, riding on the wings of yesterday.
Where will you begin your upcountry adventure? Three interstate highway systems, 1-75, 1-20 and 1-575, and numerous well-main tained state roads traverse the region in spaghetti-like fashion.
For family fun or group excite ment, consider Six Flags and White Water amusement parks, both located in Cobb County. If high times for you call for high places, the southern slope of Lookout Mountain on Georgia's northern border is the place. Besides the spec tacular view -- which includes sightings from Rock City into seven states on a clear day -- there's also the increasingly popular sport of hang gliding to make a great trip even more memorable.

type who finds adventure in wilder ness campsites and vast bodies of water? The Mclntosh Reserve near Carrollton offers primitive camping facilities; Cloudland Canyon State Park at Rising Fawn, Fort Mountain State Park east of Chatsworth, Lake Allatoona, Carters Lake, Lake Blue Ridge, the Cohutta Wilderness Area, and the Hidden Creek Camp ground in the Chattahoochee National Forest also offer camping. Some sites have RV facilities, while all of the state parks feature campsites with varying degrees of comfort. And the state parks also have air conditioned cabins for those who desire to "rough it" in the cool.
Red Top Mountain State Park near Cartersville has comparable accom modations, plus this site boasts one of the newest lodge/conference cen ters in the state.
With many of the parks con structed around recreational lakes, boating and other water sports activities are intensely popular pas times in Northwest Georgia.
There's more to this region than

Etowah Indians

A visit to Georgia's mountains puts you knee-deep in beautiful scenery, pioneer history, and genuine homegrown hospitality. You can go camping or hiking, or just spend a few restful hours browsing through the shops and stores in one of the small towns you'll find along your way. You're bound to come across a fair or a festival, and lots of places have museums and historic attractions for you

to take a look at. And did we mention the food? It's good

and there's plenty of it everywhere you go. So c'mon, get

nature and outdoor sports, how ever. If antiques, boutiques, quaint tearooms and charming inns are your idea of the "ideal" get-away vacation, then Marietta and Rome are "musts" on your itinerary. Both towns have restored downtown business districts which are a step backward into time. Other cities in the region have caught the preserva tion/restoration fever and are work ing to restore some of their historical past to the present.
While you're in Rome, it's only a short drive north on Highway 27 to Oak Hill, the antebellum home of the late Martha Berry. The mansion, built in 1847, along with an adjacent museum, is open to the public at specified hours. Located across from the Berry College campus which Miss Berry founded as a small, oneroom school, the elegant home still exists as it did at the time of her death in 1942, and offers rare insights into the philosophy of this gentle-spoken woman whose ideas and ambitions carried her into the White House and to the royal courts of Europe.
Cave Spring in western Floyd County is a pastoral niche that time forgot, rediscovered and restored. Known for the mineral spring from which the town derives its name, this quaint, crossroads village has some 90 of its structures on the National Register.
In years past, medical cures were the rage. Many old family correspon dences tell of someone who has spent time "taking the cure," mean ing they visited at one of the many famous mineral springs whose restor ative powers could -- and supposedly would -- cure whatever ailed.
Lithia Springs in Douglas County is another of the once famous spas which drew visitors around the turn of the twentieth century. Guests from across the country drank the lithium-laced water which many doctors prescribed. Restoration of the site, and a determination to bot tle and sell these mineral waters is now underway. Already visitors may tour the site and sample the all-natural miracle elixir.

Take your choice: the smorgas bord of major chain hotels and motels scattered throughout the region ensure that you will find a room to fit your exhaustion level and your pocketbook.
Besides quality accommodations, road-weary travelers look forward to mealtime, and in Northwest Geor gia the abundance of restaurants and food outlets ensures that indeci sion is the only problem you'll have.
If your penchant for pampering and adventure indicate the need for something more than the standard motel room, many bed and breakfast inns dot the landscape, eager to welcome you. Accommodations may range from simple country cot tages to the elegance of the pink marble Tate House, the beautifullyrestored estate of Sam Tate, Geor gia's marble baron. Each bed and breakfast is unique: each one in its own way a minute piece in a most
unforgettable Northwest Georgia foray.
Many of these establishments will gladly custom-arrange facilities and events for groups. Hidden Hollow, near Chickamauga, is one such rus tic get-away, where groups are hosted to an evening of square dancing.
History in Northwest Georgia is far from dead and buried. Instead, it thrives daily in hamlets across the area. Drive the roadways and encounter the settlements of Talking Rock, Rising Fawn, BallGround and Tallapoosa. Experience the Indian contribution to this great heritage that we preserve and exhibit so proudly.
Pause momentarily in the formal rooms of the Vann House at Spring Place. Force yourself to remember that the elegant Empire furnishings and the vivid earthtone decor once were the environment of an Indian.

Climb the tower at Fort Mountain and gaze out across the remains of what was once evidently a rock for tress. An engineering marvel of its time, the exact history of the site is unknown, buried with those who designed and built the structure.
Note The Cherokee Phoenix, the bilingual newspaper of the Cherokees published in the capital city, New Echota, near Calhoun. It demonstrates, perhaps more than any other one bit of evidence, the degree of civilization and level of intelligence attained by these native Americans.
Reflect on just how old the Indian culture is when you reach the top of the ancient Etowah Mounds south-

Union stronghold in Chattanooga, now housed at the Big Shanty Museum at Kennesaw. Climb to the top of nearby Kennesaw Mountain, close your eyes, and imagine the noise and confusion, the agonized screams and the victorious cheers as the last major stronghold before Atlanta fell into Union possession.
It is possible to obtain maps and directions to follow both the main thrust of the Union occupation and the splinter troop movements through the entire Northwest Geor gia area. For history buffs, it is a vacation to top all vacations.
Side stops along the way could include the Whitman-Anderson House in Ringgold which served as General Grant's headquarters; Barnsley Gardens, the remains of a once elegant, up-country plantation belonging to a wealthy Savannah businessman who was one of the early settlers in the Bartow county area; the Lowery Covered Bridge, (also known as Euharlee Creek Bridge) northwest of Cartersville; Roselawn, the home of the famous evangelist Sam P. Jones; and the William Weinman Mineral Center and Museum adjacent to Interstate 75.
No trip into Northwest Georgia can be complete without at least one stop at an arts and crafts fair. The southern region of the United States is famous for its preservation of arts and handicrafts. Prater's Mill at Dalton, The Apple Festival at Ellijay, Riverfest in Canton, Paulding Meadows at Dallas, Big Spring at Cedartown, Cherokee Fields at BallGround and Chiaha and Christ mas on the Coosa in Rome are just some of the many events held reg ion-wide during almost any week end during the year. A listing of "Fairs and Festivals" is available at most welcome centers, and provides complete information on events, dates, admission fees and other information you'll need to know.
And there's still more to see and do:
-- Hear nationally-known coun try music stars at Concerts in the Country in Calhoun . . .
-- Depart from McCaysville on

whitewater rafting trips through the waterways of the southern Blue Ridge Mountains . . .
-- Experience a brief insight into military history at the Sixth Calvary Museum in Ft. Oglethorpe. Stables now house businesses around the parade field where majestic horses marched prior to the army's mechani zation in World War II...
-- Savor the peaceful mountain view one hour from Atlanta at Jasper's famous Woodbridge Inn and enjoy continental dining with a personal touch . . .
Located on the Etowah River out from Cartersville is the Cooper's Iron Works, once a Confederate munitions factory . . .
-- View the history behind the city known as the Carpet Capital of the World at Crown Gardens and Archives in Dalton . . .
-- Discover for yourself the sol itude of the Blue Ridge Mountain
foothills around Ellijay, where former President Jimmy Carter

the newly completed four-lane high way 575 to Jasper, Ellijay and Blue Ridge, where mountain antiquing, biking, and the best 'sightseeing' in the state awaits you . . .
-- Drive the Lookout Mountain parkway and experience some 100 miles of scenic beauty . . .
-- Visit folk artist Howard Finster in Summerville . . .
Does the list ever end? Happily, NO! There's always something else to see or do in this corner of Georgia. When Georgia's on YOUR Mind, whether it be winter, spring, sum mer or fall, think Georgia's Great Northwest. . . "mountains and more."

THE charms of Southwest Georgia have long been known to its neighbors and residents. Called Plantation Trace, the region com bines the elegance of the Old South with the energy of outdoor sports. Because the weather is inviting yearround, travelers can depend on find ing the facilities they like best always open.
Earning the designation "trace" because of the many interesting paths or routes there are to follow, Plantation Trace is for the visitor who enjoys hunting preserves, woodlands, plantations, sporting clays, plus fishing lakes with miles of shoreline and hundreds of acres for boating; rivers flowing through downtowns, providing food and fun; corporate retreat sites surrounded by great sports and entertainment facilities.

Native Americans were the orig inator of many of the nation's most interesting paths, as is the case in Plantation Trace. Evidences of Indian culture can be seen in many parts of the 25-county region.
Kolomoki Mounds, just north of Blakely, is an unusual archeological site as well as a recreation area.

The "Tribute to the American Indian" in Colquitt, a 23-foot carving in a red oak tree, was created by a Hungarian sculptor memorializing America's native citizens, with one such carving in every state.
Carvings and other unusual sta tues continue to provide an interest ing theme throughout Southwest Georgia. In Sylvester, finishing touches are being put on a nine-foot peanut with a five-foot girth, carved from cypress, for placement in Syl vester's downtown park. The mas sive Viking at the Valdosta High School was carved from native oak.
Post office walls provide the focus in Cairo, Camilla and Sylvester, where artists painted murals in the 1930's and 40's as WPA projects.
Ashburn, which brings fine arts to the region through its Civic Cen ter, also heralds the significance of the peanut with a massive statue visible from Interstate 75.
Fine arts do play a significant role in the region where an innovative arts alliance headquartered in Tifton has been praised as a role model for rural areas throughout the nation. Participating in the alliance are Moultrie, Tifton and Ashburn. Lucky travelers may discover per formances of national reputation when following the region's traces.

Atrip through Georgia's Presi dential Pathways region is a journey through time. From reflec tions of the antebellum era to the birth of the 20th century South, the roots of history run deep.
In this region is the home of former U.S. President Jimmy Carter and the retreat home of former U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt. No wonder!

One of the best entrances to Presi dential Pathways off of 1-75 is via the Andersonville Trail, a 75-mile loop tour beginning in Cordele, the re gion's southern gateway. This inter state oasis boasts 1600 hotel/motel rooms and numerous restaurants. Known as the Watermelon Capital of the World, Cordele celebrates this

Georgia Veterans Memorial State Park is located just west of Cordele on U.S. 280 on the shores of Lake Blackshear. Established as a memo rial to U.S. veterans, the park includes a museum and outdoor displays of planes, cannons and tanks. Camping facilities are availa ble, and a new 18-hole golf course will open in 1990.
A few miles north of Cordele lies the town of Vienna.

Visitors will also enjoy exploring the area's antique shops and taking the driving tour of historic buildings.

Here, be sure to take the Macon County driving tour which includes antebellum homes in Marshallville, Montezuma and Oglethorpe and take home a few of the area's famous Elberta peaches. Located just outside Oglethorpe, 482-acre Whitewater Creek Park offers many outdoor recreational opportunities.

In the nearby Civil War Village of Andersonville, you will enjoy browsing through the town's folk museum and welcome center, an old log church, the Drummer Boy Civil War Museum, antique shops, and Pioneer Park. A good time to visit Andersonville is during one of the town's two historic fairs. The first weekend in October and Memo rial Day weekend awaken this vil lage to arts and crafts, antiques and living Civil War reenactments.
In beautiful Americus, a few miles south on GA 49, visit Southerfield where Charles Lindbergh made his first solo flight and take the driving tour of splendid Victorian homes and buildings, including the 1892 Windsor Hotel, a Victorian wonder of turrets and towers which is cur rently under restoration. Each year during one weekend in April (April 7 & 8, 1990), some of these architec tural gems are opened to the public during the Dogwood Trails Tour of Historic Homes. Also in April, the nearby town of Leslie welcomes spring with Dogwood Time, a

month-long celebration. A few miles west of Americus on
U.S. 280 lies Plains, the final stop on the Andersonville Trail and home of Jimmy Carter, 39th President of the United States. Now designated the Jimmy Carter National Historic Site, a National Park Service visitors' center is housed in the depot which once served as Carter's presidential campaign headquarters and now contains a collection of Carter memorabilia. A cassette and tour booklet are available to guide vis itors to points of interest. If you visit during the third weekend in May you may catch a glimpse of the former President as he participates in the Plains Country Days road race, just one of many events during this weekend-long festival.
Only 25 miles from Plains, at the intersection of GA 27 and U.S. 27, you will discover charming Lumpkin. Plan to stop at the Bedingfield Inn, a restored 1836 stagecoach inn, which also houses a drug store museum fully equipped in turn-ofthe-century fashion. Here you can

pick up a driving tour brochure and follow the Stagecoach Trail, a route that highlights 23 pre-1850 houses.
If you really want to step back in time, your next stop should be Westville, a living history village where it's always 1850. Located just outside of Lumpkin, this village of relocated, authentically restored buildings features homes, shops and buildings of the period. Yearround educational programs and special events preserve the culture of the 1850s.
Seven miles west of Lumpkin on GA 39, Providence Canyon State Park has the highest concentration of natural wildflowers in Georgia, hiking trails, an interpretive center and a large number of plumleaf azaleas, a plant found only in the Presidential Pathways region.
Florence Marina State Park, located on the shores of Lake Walter F. George 16 miles west of Lumpkin, offers a marina and camping facilities.
From Lumpkin, take GA 27 to U.S. 280 and head north to the re gion's largest city, Columbus, desig nated as the Center of the Sunbelt South. Stop at the Center of the Sun belt South marker at the intersection of 8th Street and Front Avenue and receive a certificate commemorating your visit.
Get acquainted with the Colum bus of yesteryear by touring Heri tage Corner in the Historic District. Here the former home and a replica of the apothecary shop of Dr. John Pemberton, creator of Coca-Cola, as well as other house museums, are available for tour through the His toric Columbus Foundation.
A prime example of Columbus' commitment to growth through a unique combination of preservation and redevelopment is the Columbus Iron Works. Once used to manufac ture cannons for the Confederacy, it now serves as a beautiful Conven tion and Trade Center.
At the new Columbus Museum you'll see history, fine arts and dis covery galleries in one of the largest museums in the Southeast. Then go from beauty to battle at the Confed erate Naval Museum. Here you will

view the extremely rare remains of the Confederate gunboats CSS Chattahoochee and CSS Jackson. South of Columbus at Fort Benning, the National Infantry Museum displays exhibits of uniforms, weapons and infantry history.
The Springer Opera House, built in 1871, serves as the State Theatre of Georgia staging several excellent community productions each sea son. Tours include the theatre's museum of authentic celebrity memorabilia and its Old Saloon with antique bar and Tiffany lamps.
Throughout the year Columbus hosts numerous special events including A Taste of Columbus, the Salisbury Fair during Riverfest Week end, the P.G. A. Southern Open golf Tournament, and the Miss Georgia pageant.
During the last weekend in April and the last weekend in September, a perfect side trip from Columbus is the Crackerland Country Fair in Howard, 35 miles to the east. Artists from six southeastern states offer original handicrafts and art.

Upon leaving Columbus, drive north to Warm Springs and visit the only home four-time President Franklin Delano Roosevelt ever owned. Preserved much as it was when Roosevelt died here on April 12,1945, the Little White House fea tures original furnishings, personal artifacts, and the famous Unfinished Portrait which was being painted when the President suffered a fatal

stroke. Around the block from the Little White House is the Roosevelt/ Warm Springs Institute for Rehabili tation where FDR and countless other polio victims found treatment in the area's naturally warm spring waters.
The town of Warm Springs also has been restored to its charming 1940's vitality with over 60 shops and restaurants. Just outside Warm Springs, the Green Grass Fair is held the first weekend in April and

November. The nearby town of Gay celebrates
the first weekend in May and Octo ber with the Cotton Pickin' Country Fair, consistently recognized as one of the top 20 events in the Southeast.
Gorgeous views, picnicking spots and hiking trails await you along FDR's favorite drive on Route 190 over Pine Mountain with camping facilities, boating and fishing availa ble at Franklin D. Roosevelt State Park.

r Neighboring the state park is beautiful Pine Mountain Village. This lovely collection of shops and restaurants in an Appalachian foot hills setting complements perhaps the nation's finest example of eco logical development, Callaway Gardens.
The 2,500-acre garden area boasts a variety of luxurious resort facilities that have been awarded Mobil's Four-Star and AAA's Four-Diamond ratings. Highlights of the Gardens include biking, walking and driving trails, formal gardens featuring 700 varieties of azaleas and the world's largest display of holly, 13 lakes and the vegetable garden where Jim Wil son films the "Victory Garden South" television program.
Other attractions are the Ida Cason Callaway Memorial Chapel, Robin Lake with the longest manmade white sand beach in the world and the John A. Sibley Horticultural Center, an award-winning indoor/ outdoor garden and conservatory featuring five acres of floral displays and a two-story waterfall. The newest addition to the Gardens is the Day Butterfly Center, the world's largest glass-enclosed conservatory featuring butterflies in free flight.
In addition to all of the activities offered year-round, Callaway also hosts the Masters Water Ski Tourna ment in May, the Florida State "Fly ing High" Circus June through August and the Columbus Steeple chase in the fall.
Farther along 1-85 is LaGrange and nearby 25,000-acre West Point Lake, a fisherman's heaven. For the non-angler, LaGrange offers the Chattahoochee Valley Art Associa tion Museum and the Lamar Dodd Art Center at LaGrange College which houses retrospective collec tions by the recognized LaGrange native, Lamar Dodd, and a South west and Plains American Indian collection. Bellevue, an 1852 Greek Revival home built by statesman Benjamin Harvey Hill, is open for tours.
A little farther north you will find the town of Newnan, known as the City of Homes due to its wealth of restored antebellum houses. You

can pick up a driving tour brochure and view the exterior of these gra cious dwellings anytime, or plan your visit during the second week end in October when several are opened to the public during the annual tour of homes. Don't miss the Male Academy Museum which features a regional history of the textile industry's growth. Each Labor Day weekend, Newnan hosts one of the top 100 Events in North Amer ica, Power's Crossroads Country Fair and Arts Festival, featuring over 300 artists and craftsmen.
In nearby Senoia, Memorial Day travelers won't want to miss the Mclntosh Country Fair when over 100 exhibitors come to this former King Cotton community. A driving tour of historic homes is available anytime.
A short drive east from Senoia finds you in Griffin, home of the Great Griffin Mayfling and famous for its outlet shops where you can find great deals on towels, hosiery and lingerie. While here, be sure to take the self-guided tour which includes 30 historic sites. A tour highlight is Stonewall Cemetery where over 500 Confederate soldiers are buried, many of them patients in Griffin hospitals following the Civil War battles in Atlanta and Jonesboro.
Leaving Griffin, take U.S. 19 south to Thomaston. Explore historic downtown with the available walk ing and driving tour brochures, and

then take a picnic lunch and head to the Flint River Outdoor Center, seven miles west of the city on GA 36. You can spend an action-packed day here canoeing, rafting and shooting the 1,2, and 3 class rapids. Organized excursions are available for one-half to three-day excursions, but plan ahead because reservations are needed. To round out your stay, try fishing at scenic Sprewell Bluff and relive the past with a picnic at Auchumpkee Covered Bridge, built in 1893 and located 12 miles south of the city.
So take time during your next Georgia vacation for a few pauses on the pathways of west central Georgia. Whether you choose the bright lights and excitement of a big city or a slower-paced visit to one of our charming small towns, you'll find that there is plenty to see and do, and the warmth of the welcome is always the same. From pioneers to presidents, Georgia's Presidential Pathways has it all!
