Welcome To Georgia
)

Welcome!
As a youngster growing up in Young Harris at the foot of the great Appalachians, I was convinced there is no finer place to be than in the North Georgia Mountains. Having now experienced Georgia's many other scenic treasures, like the sunny coastal beaches and the pristine beauty of our lakes and rivers, I am pleased to share them with you. Georgia even has its own "Little Grand Canyon" that is well worth the trip off the interstate that you are accustomed to traveling.
As a former history professor, I would especially like to invite you to explore Georgia's rich and colorful past. Georgia is one of the original 13 colonies that eventually became one of the first states in our country. We are home to two American presidents, the world's most popular soft drink, the inventor of the Cherokee alphabet and the world's largest college campus.
My wife, Shirley, and I maintain our family home in the mountains, but our memories of great Georgia vacations stretch the entire length of the state. We are honored that you are considering Georgia as your U.S. vacation destination. We believe that you will find, as we did, that each visit ends with a longing to return.
With warm best wishes and best regards, I am,
Sincerely,

Zell MIiier Governor

I994 Georgia On My Mind

WhenWeSay, "WeLoveToFlyAnd It Shows,''
This IsWhere It Shows.
You know, you can actually see a good flight. It's on the face of the salesrep who's heard his first "yes sir" in a day full of"no's." Or the executive who's surprised not only that we remember her name, but how she likes her coffee. Small touches like those have earned Delta the best overall record of passenger
satisfaction ofany major U.S. airline~One smile at a time.

the early 20th century, and Augusta's Springfield Baptist Church has been among the city's leading social, cultural and religious institutions for more than two centuries. The newlynamed James Brown Boulevard salutes this city's famous native son.
Just a short drive east ofAugusta is Thomson, the birthplace and final resting place of Blind Willie McTell, one ofAmerica's most revered blues musicians of the '30s.
Coastal Georgia blends a rich African American legacy with the allure of the oceanside. Brunswick and the Golden Isles, renowned today for sunny beaches and recreational variety, also offer a glimpse at plantation life in the black experience. Hofwyl-Broadfield Plantation

remains much as it was nearly two centuries ago, although it ceased harvesting rice, its primary crop, in 1915. HofwylBroadfield is now a State Historic Site where visitors can examine dwellings, a museum, exhibits and artifacts which chronicle the history of the slaves who cultivated the rice fields and later settled in communities as free men and women.
Brunswick and the Golden Isles are also the home of the Sea Island Festival, an annual celebration of black culture and heritage. Neptune Park, a popular leisure-time spot, is named for Neptune Small, a freedman and Civil War hero. And Selden Park was once the site of The Selden Normal and Industrial Institute, which opened in 1903 as one of the

finest black educational facilities of its time.
Savannah, the coastal city where Georgia was established as an English colony in 1733, offers additional opportunities for insight into the African American experience. The Beach Institute, established in 1865 to educate newly-free black citizens in Savannah, now spotlights African American arts and crafts.
Black culture and heritage are celebrated as well at the King-Tisdell Cottage, a restored Victorian-era home. The First African Baptist Church, founded in 1773, and one of the several historically significant churches in Savannah, is said to be the oldest, continuously active, autonomously developed black church in America.

S IX FLAGS OVER GEORGIA-ANTEBELLUM R OSWELL-Q UIET PARKS-CENTER FOR P UPPETRY ARTS-THE O MNI Q

Today, on the eve of the Centennial Olympic Games, ATLANTA METRO's 2.9 million people are poised to be winners again. The world will be watching more than just the televised sports action. Record numbers of visitors will be descending upon the city, testing its legendary southern hospitality and looking for amusements. Pleasant surprises await chem, and everyone else who visits, now or in 1996.
Atlanta is a sprawling city. Viewed from the air, it appears to be a mass of greenery, with gleaming sky- scrapers at the heart of a spaghetti -knot of interstate highways. At ground level it is all trees, rolling hills, pretty neighborhoods, and a clean, architecturally impressive hotel and central business core. Underground, beneath the viaducts that cover the original streets and railyards of old Atlanta, are an atmospheric historic district and an entertainment capital.
Since Atlanta's streets do not form a grid pattern, and since there is a profusion of streets containing the

Runne,-s cool off after running in Atlanta's Peachtru Road Race on July 4th.
word "Peachtree" (32 at last count), the easiest way to get oriented to Atlanta is to learn the main neighborhoods, suburban areas, and a few notable landmarks.
Five Points is synonymous with central downtown. It is the intersection of Peachtree Street (the famous one), Marietta Street, and Edgewood Avenue. It's also the

southern end of the business and financial district and the location of Woodruff Park, a $10 million gift to the city from the former president of Coca-Cola, Robert Woodruff. Covering an entire block, the park is one of the best places to catch a lunchtime glimpse of a cross section of Atlanta's citizenry.
A short walk away, Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority's (MARTA) rapid rail lines cross at the main Five Points Station. The nationally acclaimed MARTA public transportation system, with 39 miles of track and 1,500 miles of feeder bus routes, is the least expensive way to go just about anywhere in Atlanta. Downtown to the airport is a cool 15-minute ride.
Across from the MARTA Five Points Station is the entrance to Underground Atlanta, now in its second exciting reincarnation. Covering 12 cavernous acres, Underground is filled with three dozen restaurants and nightclubs, over 100 specialty shops and streetcart

merchants, and is the gateway to three of the city's historical attractions.
Lower Alabama Street was the original Underground, the hottest spot in town in the late 1960s and early 70s. It is now just one part of a totally redeveloped complex that reopened in 1988. Old Alabama Street Eatery is the colorful, fun-filled food court, and Kenney's Alley is entertainment row. Night dubbers can do the "Texas Two-Step" at Miss Kitty's Saloon and Dance Hall, boogie to 60s beach memories at the Atlanta Beach Club, take in a comedy or magic show, or enjoy a variety of folk, bluegrass, jazz, and rock music.
The Zero Milepost in Underground marks the spot where, in 1837, Colonel Stephen H. Long drove a stake into the ground, in near total wilderness, to designate a new southern terminus for the Western and Atlantic Railroad. The settlement that sprang up around it was called Terminus, later the town of Marthasville, and finally, in 1847, the city ofAtlanta. For many years

Atlanta was the prosperous railway crossroads of the Southeast. During the Civil War, railroads made the city the strategic head of the Confederate supply line. Atlanta became a prime target for destruction for the same reason it had been born.
Heritage Row, also in Underground, recalls Atlanta's history from the wilderness years and the days of King Cotton to the Civil War siege and the building of the New South.
Atlanta would not be all it is today without the contributions of its homegrown corporate giant, the Coca-Cola Company. Responding to popular demand for a "Coca-Cola museum," they built The World of Coca-Cola pavilion adjacent to Underground to house the largest collection of Coca-Cola memorabilia in existence. The three-story pavilion also contains fanciful exhibits and traces the beverage's development from an 1886 Atlanta drugstore concoction to worldwide phenomenon. A tour of Coke's world via large-screen, high-definition

television and a futuristic soda fountain that wows visitors as it shoots 20-foot streams of Coca-Cola into their cups are highlights of any visit.
Several blocks west of Five Points, CNN Center expresses another side ofAtlanta: high-tech, fast-paced, state-of-the-art international news broadcasting. CNN and HEADLINE NEWS, two 24-hour all-news networks, are the creation of Turner Broadcasting System ofAtlanta. A 45-rninute CNN Studio Tour offers a unique view of news production from specially-constructed, glass- enclosed overhead walkways.
Nearby, the new Georgia Dome is home to the Atlanta Falcons football team and the site of the 1994 Super Bowl. The Omni Sports Arena behind CNN Center is the venue for Atlanta Hawks basketball, and like Coca-Cola Lakewood Amphitheatre, is the setting for concerts by big name touring artists. Across the street, major league conventions fill the halls

of the mammoth Georgia World Congress Center.
On a smaller scale, the Monetary Museum at the Federal Reserve Bank just down the block, tells a fascinating story of the origins and use of money throughout the ages. The downtown branch of the Atlanta History Center (140 Peachtree) and the High Museum at Georgia Pacific (133 Peachtree) are mini-versions of much bigger uptown originals, yet convenient for sightseers with limited time.
Because Atlanta is county seat, state capital, and regional headquarters for federal government, a sizeable chunk of downtown has become the "government corridor." This includes a newly renovated City Hall, the Fulton County Complex, the Richard B. Russell Federal Building, various state office buildings, and the distinctive, gold-domed Georgia State Capitol.
The Classic Renaissance-style Capitol is a National Historic Landmark. It was built in 1889, for just under $1

million. A Hall of Flags and the State Museum of Science and Industry are located inside its Georgia marble-lined interior. The Capitol dome has been gilded twice, both times with precious metal donated by Georgia citizens. The dome is a piece of state history, a reminder that America's first gold rush took place in 1828 in Dahlonega, Georgia, source of the Capitol dome gold.
An 11 -block portion of downtown is occupied by Peachtree Center, designed by Atlanta architect John Portman, who shaped the city's dramatic modern skyline. His idea of "an urban village where everything is in reach of the pedestrian," is brought to life in this multi- dimensional complex of soaring towers, trademark interior atriums, and exterior aerial walkways. Peachtree Center is truly the center ofAtlanta business activity with three of the city's finest hotels; seven office towers; the Atlanta Merchandise, Apparel, and Gift Marts; and lnforum, a spacious meeting center and computer/ information processing mart.
Revolving restaurants and lounges atop the Westin Peachtree Plaza and the Hyatt Regency Atlanta afford sweeping, panoramic views of the city. Some of Atlanta's best shopping, dining, and people watching are in and around Peachtree Center.
Atlanta's commercial, civic, and cultural measure is in large part due to contributions made by an accomplished Afro-American community. Sweet Auburn Historic District was the soul and pride of black Atlanta from the 1890s to the mid- l 900s. A business, residential, and entertainment enclave along Auburn Avenue east of Five Points, this small section of town produced men and women who influenced the history of the city, state, and nation.
Black energies created great church congregations here, as well as civic-minded fraternal orders and numerous small enterprises. A radio station, WERO, and The Atlanta Daily World newspaper conveyed black culture and political

information. Several highly successful financial institutions grew from these roots: Atlanta Life Insurance Company, Citizens Trust Bank, and Mutual Federal Savings and Loan rank high to this day among the country's leading black-owned businesses.
Martin Luther King, Jr., world-renowned civil rights leader

and Nobel Peace Prize recipient was born on Auburn Avenue. His Birth Home, Ebenezer Baptist Church where he and his father preached, and Freedom Hall Complex, which contains Dr. King's gravesite and the Center for Non-Violent Social Change, have been designated part of the Martin Luther King, Jr. National Historic Site.

ATLANTA HISTORY CENTER

404 814 -4000

Zoo Atlanta and the Atlanta Cyclorama share a common location in Grant Park southeast of downtown . Ac the zoo, 900 animals from nearly every continent roam natural habitats as diverse as Asian rainforest and Arctic tundra. Zoo Atlanta has one of the country's finest reptile collections, a legendary lowland gorilla named Willie B., and "The Greatest Baby Elephant Show on Earth."
The Atlanta Cyclorama houses one of the city's most beloved arc treasures and tells the poignant story of one of the pivotal events in Civil War history, the July 22, 1864, Battle of Atlanta. All the action of chat one terrible day is captured in a three-dimensional, 358-ft. paintingin-the-round, with sound effects and narration to highlight each facet of the battle. An introductory film sets the scene, and a museum of Civil War artifacts and the 1862 steam locomotive TEXAS fill the exhibit hall.
Midtown, from Ponce de Leon Avenue north to 26th Street, continues to mix the old and new, but

here the atmosphere is more residential, as seen in the attractive homes of Ansley Park. Even so, the area is fast becoming a Southern version of off-Broadway. Anchored by the Woodruff Arts Center, which
includes the Atlanta Symphony, the Alliance and Studio Theatres, and the High Museum ofArt, Midtown is also the address of at lease 10 ocher live performance theatres, one of chem The Fabulous Fox, a 1929 Moorish/ Egyptian /Art Deco fantasy on the National Register Of Historic Places.
Across from the Fox, the recently opened Road to Tara Museum has the largest permanent public exhibit of "Gone With the Wind" memorabilia.
Rhodes Memorial Hall, a 1903 copy of a Rhineland castle, is the museum home of the Georgia Trust for Historic Preservation. Colony Square, one of the first of Midtown's new skyscrapers, is a contemporary condo/ office/hotel /shopping and dining complex.
The most popular place in Midtown is 180-acre Piedmont Park, which hoses the spring Atlanta Dogwood Festival and the fall Arts Festival of Atlanta. The park is a haven for walkers, joggers, roller skaters, picnickers, tennis and softball players, and just about anyone who wants co re!ax. A large portion of the park is devoted co the Atlanta Botanical Garden and its $3.5 million Fuqua Conservatory, an oasis of exotic tropical plants from around the world.
While there are hundreds of fine restaurants in ATLANTA METRO, everything from simple BBQ joints to elegant Southern mansions, one in Midtown must be singled out as a local institution. The Varsity near Georgia Tech has been dishing up chili cheese dogs and fried pies in its own special way since 1928. le is billed as the world's largest drive-in.

science museums are located next to each other on the outskirts of Midtown. The Atlanta Ballet performs at the Civic Center, adjacent to Sci-Trek, where more than 100 hands-on exhibits illustrate basic principles of science and their application to everyday life.
On the eastern periphery of Midtown, two intersecting streets give their names to the area known as Virginia-Highlands. The informal, moderately priced restaurants nestled in this cozy neighborhood are perennial Atlanta favorites. Nearby Inman Park is filled with stately Victorian homes. Its commercial center, Little Five Points, is perhaps the "funkiest" village in Atlanta, with offbeat shopping, dining, and nightlife.
The Carter Presidential Center, between Virginia-Highlands and Inman Park, chronicles the life and administration of the 39th President of the United States. It houses some 27 million documents, memorabilia, and displays, as well as the offices of several of the Carters' ongoing projects. The center is set on a 30acre hilltop overlooking Atlanta and affords a stunning view of the city.
Buckhead, north of Midtown, is Atlanta's silk-stocking district. Fine old mansions sit back on well-manicured lawns, causing a sensation each spring with their incredible array of pink and white dogwood and azalea. T raffle slows to a crawl for weeks on Tuxedo, Blackland, and Habersham Roads while the whole neighborhood enchants bedazzled onlookers.
At the Greek Revival-style Georgia Governor's Mansion on West Paces Ferry Road, the permanent furnishings constitute one of the finest collections of Federal period furniture in the United States. The public can visit three mornings a week.
The Atlanta History Center on Andrews Drive has 26 acres of gardens and woodlands enclosing two historic homes and the new Atlanta History Museum. The 1840's plantation Tullie Smith House is an

authentic pre-Civil War working farm. The 1928 Swan House, showpiece of the history center, is a grand Italianate villa rising above a series of gentle terraces and cascading fountains. The center's Civil War exhibit is considered one of the best in the nation.
The S,van House.
To ardent shoppers, Buckhead is heaven. With Lenox Square, the grandly renovated Phipps Plaza, and a wealth of neighborhood boutiques, it typifies one fact of life in Atlanta: There's more shopping space per capita here than in any other city in the U.S. except Chicago. Come nightfall, Buckhead is the spot to see and be seen in. A wide variety of cafes, restaurants, music and dance clubs are clustered with hotels like the Ritz-Carlton, in the pocket between East Paces Ferry and Pharr Roads just off Peachtree Street. In the summertime, there is more top quality entertainment at Chastain Memorial Park Amphitheatre just north of Buckhead. Open-air concert goers dine on elaborate picnic suppers before tuning in to the Atlanta Symphony and luminaries from the world of jazz and pop. On July 4th, the annual lOK Peachtree Road Race takes off from Buckhead, next to Lenox Square. The suburb of Marietta is located 20 miles northwest of Atlanta in Cobb County. It, too, endured severe losses during the Civil War, as Union troops burned their way into the Confederate stronghold. Marietta rebuilt itself and then preserved its turn-of-the-century

downtown. It proudly touts four National Register Historic Districts containing 52 points of interest. Historic Marietta Walking/Driving Tour and Cannonball Trail Driving Tour brochures are available from the welcome center in the 1898 railroad depot on Marietta Square.
Marietta is fast becoming a hot place for buying and selling antiques, especially in and around the square. Some 21 antique shops representing over 200 dealers can be found there, along with many other stores and restaurants. Theatre in the Square presents professional live theatre, and Glover Park in the center of the square is the scene of numerous concerts and festivals throughout the year.
Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park, a short drive from Marietta Square, is the site of two Civil War battles chat paved the way for the seige ofAtlanta. A visitor center/museum offers a 15-minuce slide show on the campaign, and the grounds provide miles of original earthworks, historic markers, and roads and hiking trails to the Kennesaw Mountain summit. Big Shanty Museum, also in Kennesaw, features The General, a legendary steam locomotive that was hijacked during one of the more unusual episodes of the war.
Vinings Village has a somewhat indelicate Civil War history. The plantation home of Hardy Pace, operator of the famous Pace's Ferry across the Chattahoochee River, was commandeered for use as a Union hospital. As Northern soldiers died, they were buried in his yard, "but dug up as the troops came back through Georgia and laid to rest in the North," say Pace family records. Mose of the homes in tiny Vinings still belong co Pace's descendents. Several of the houses are now antique shops, and one is a well-known restaurant.
There's also a modern side to Marietta. Whitewater Park and American Adventures are magnets to youngsters looking for big summer fun in a water-filled playground or the

kind of theme park that caters just to kids. Historic Roswell is one of the few Civil War targets in Georgia that survived almost intact. A mill town 28 miles north of Atlanta, Roswell's business was the manufacture of gray cloth for Confederate uniforms. General Sherman politely destroyed only the mill, leaving most of Roswell's antebellum structures to posterity.
Greek Revival Bulloch Hall (c.1840) was the girlhood home of Mittie Bulloch, mother of President Theodore Roosevelt and grandmother of First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt. The Roswell Visitor Center on Atlanta Street provides walking tour brochures and guided tours of this and 26 other historic sites.

artists' studios, specialty shops and restaurants.
In 1845, The Archibald Smith Plantation House, along with some 13 outbuildings, was built about a mile north of Roswell. The home was kept in the family for generations and preserved in its original state. Opened to the public in 1991 , it accurately portrays the southern lifestyle of a mid-19th century cotton planter.
The Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area, south of Roswell, is where Atlantans like to play at one of their favorite sports, rafting down the Chattahoochee. The Chattahoochee Nature Center within the parklands offers educational programs, woodland hiking trails, and a scenic boardwalk fo r observing the river marsh and its wildlife.
One highlight of a visit to Gwinnett County, 30 minutes northeast of Atlanta, is a stop at the Atlanta Falcons Headquarters and Training Camp in Suwanee. The NFL pro team practices here mid-summer

through fall, and the public is invited to watch. Visitors can also work out at the Falcons' year-round fitness center.
Spores-minded Gwinnett prides itself on its first-class tennis center, Peachtree World of Tennis, and on being named host venue for the 1995-1997 U.S. Hot Air Balloon Championships.
Around the county there are small southern towns to explore, like Old Town Lilburn, Historic Norcross, and Buford. There is a touch of civic history at the Historic Courthouse/ History Museum in Lawrenceville, and a manor home and 90-acre garden estate at Vines Botanical Gardens. The Southeastern Railway Museum in Duluth displays items historically significant to the nation's railroads, including over 40 units of rolling stock. Children love the Yellow River Game Ranch in Lilburn, where petting the animals is always allowed.

DeKalb is Georgia's second largest county and constitutes 25 per cent of metropolitan Atlanta. Its county seat, Decatur, just seven miles east of downtown, is known for its beautifully landscaped neighborhoods and renowned colleges and universities. At Emory University, "Harvard of the South," the Michael C. Carlos Museum of Art and Archaeology has just re-opened after extensive renovations. This is the largest archaeological museum in the southeast, housing comprehensive collections of Egyptian, Greek, near Eastern, Columbian and modern art.
The Fernbank Museum of Natural History is the largest natural history

museum in the southeast. It has the state's first IMAX Theater, a dinosaur gallery, and its permanent exhibit, "A Walk Through Time in Georgia," uses the state of Georgia as a microcosm to tell the history of the earth. The companion Fernbank Science Center boasts one of the largest planetariums in the nation and a 65-acre forest with walking trails specifically designed for the visually impaired.
Dramatic evidence of Atlanta's growing multi-cultural diversity permeates Your DeKalb Farmer's Market. With delicious fresh foods and baked goods from over 30 countries, this is the largest indoor market of its kind in the world.
And then there's the world's largest mass of exposed granite with the world's largest bas-relief sculpture carved on its side. These are in Georgia's Stone Mountain Park, nine miles east of Decatur. Chosen as a

venue for seven Olympic sporting events, the 3,200 acre park is a wonderland of outdoor recreation and family fun. Its top attractions include an 18-hole championship golf course, Antebellum Plantation, Riverboat Ride, Skylift, the story behind the carving of the three Confederate heroes, and the spectacular summertime Laser Light Show projected each night onto the face of the mountain.
Jonesboro, in Clayton County south of Atlanta, is known as the literary setting for Margaret Mitchell's "Gone
With The Wind" and the beginning
of Georgia's Peach Blossom Trail. The Historic Jonesboro Driving Tour brochure, available from the visitor's bureau at 8712 Tara Boulevard, pinpoints more than 30 of the city's heritage properties and additional Clayton County attractions, such as the Atlanta State Farmers' Market and Reynolds Nature Preserve and Huie-Reynolds House in Forest Park.
To enhance its business appeal, Clayton County recently completed the new Georgia International Convention and Trade Center in College Park. This facility, located within a few minutes drive from Hartsfield Atlanta International Airport, has 35 meeting rooms, a ballroom, and 118,000 square feet of exhibit space attached to a 400-room hotel.
At every point of the compass, ATLANTA METRO shows the kind of excellence and friendly spirit that have lead to repeated rankings as one of the "best places to do business" and one of the "most livable cities in the world." Atlanta-watchers seem to agree that this city and its suburbs have charms worth a visit.
And while visitors will find ATLANTA METRO to be a place that values those accolades, they will also find it is a place that cherishes having a good time. As Atlanta and Georgia look forward to the 1996 Olympics and the celebration of a lifetime, rest assured their guests will have a good time, too.

the city's busy tourism activity. A shady park and children's playground at one end, an 1,800-seat amphitheatre at the other, and a host of restaurants, shops and museums along the entryways make this promenade a mecca for sightseers, concert goers, and water sports enthusiasts.
Riverwalk is the venue for three world-class boating events each year. The 2000-meter International Rowing Regatta headlines a mini-sports festival of foot races and cycling contests. River Race Augusta, the highlight of the International Outboard Grand Prix Series, features more than 80 entrants competing for the largest purse in American motorboat racing. With more than 100 hydroplane and flatbottom boats from across the United States and Canada, the Hardee's Augusta Southern Nationals is the richest dragboat race in the world.
Festivals for all reasons and seasons draw crowds to the Riverwalk: St. Patrick's Day, bluegrass, 4th ofJuly, jazz, Oktoberfest. The midSeptember Arts in the Heart of Augusta is an annual fine arts affair with an emphasis on the city's ethnic

diversity. Even when there's no scheduled activity, the promenade is a delightful place to stroll and enjoy the scenic beauty of the river, or cruise by on the Princess Augusta, an old fashioned paddlewheeler.
The 1886 Cotton Exchange at the 8th Street entrance to Riverwalk was once the scene of over 200 brokers buying and selling around the globe. Now it houses a welcome center, the convention and visitors bureau, and a museum depicting the turn-ofthe-century cotton business from planting to manufacturing. This restored Victorian masterpiece is listed on the National Register Of Historic Places.
Since Augusta survived the Civil War with little damage, some of her heritage sites date back to Colonial times. Meadow Garden is the oldest documented house in Georgia. It was built in 1794 as the home of George Walton, youngest signer of the Declaration Of Independence and Governor of Georgia. The Ezekiel Harris House, also from the 1790s, was a tobacco merchant's home and doubled as a roadhouse for his planters. The Old Government House (c.1801) has been county and

city government headquarters and the private residence ofsome ofAugusta's most prominent families. Ware's Folly, now the Gertrude Herbert Art Institute, got its name from a public fuss over the $40,000 Mayor Nicholas Ware spent to build it in 1818.
Modern development has not disturbed four important historic districts in Augusta. The Broad Street commercial area is centered on one of the widest main streets in America. It features architectural styles from the early 19th century to Victorian and Art Deco, and is the place to go for antique shopping. Summerville is a hilltop neighborhood that first attracted wealthy Augustans in 1800 as a summer retreat. Olde Town was popular during Victorian times, and was often called "Pinch Gut" after the corseted fashions favored by its residents. The Laney-Walker district honors Lucy Laney, a former slave who became one of the most outstanding educators in post-Civil War Georgia.
There are several historic churches in Augusta, one a particularly stunning Romanesque Revival structure. Originally a Catholic church, the Sacred Heart Cultural Center has

more than 15 patterns of exterior brickwork, jewel-like stained glass windows, and an interior of intricately carved Italian marble. Augusta's opera, ballet, symphony and theatre companies now reside here, and works by local artists and authors are displayed and sold in the gift shop. The new Morris Museum ofArt at Riverwalk showcases an even wider variety of Southern art. Its permanent collection is a history of painting in the South, from antebellum portraiture, landscapes and still life to 20th Century and contemporary creations. The Augusta-Richmond County Museum a few blocks away on Telfair Street dates back to 1801, and covers such assorted subjects as archaeology, natural sciences, railroading, and the history of golf.
The prestige of the Masters Tournament has focused a tremendous amount of attention on Augusta, yet the whole CLASSIC SOUTH region shines when it comes to golf There are more than a dozen places for the public to play here, including a spectacular waterside course at Reynolds Plantation in Greensboro. Jones Creek Golf Course in Evans is currently ranked the state's top public golf course according to Georgi.a GolfNews. It's true that tickets to the Masters are scarce, but it's possible to get in on the action during practice rounds held Monday-Wednesday the first full week of April.
Hiking, biking and canoeing are convenient to the city along the nine-mile-long Augusta Canal, constructed during the late 1800s to facilitate barge traffic for the cotton trade. The canal flows by several mills, some still operating. The Sibley Mill, which manufactures cotton denim, stands on the site of the 1862 Confederate Powder-works and mirrors its ornate style. A different side ofAugusta shows in early January, during the annual Cutting Horse Futurity and Festival. This unusual event, the largest of its kind in the East, is totally Western in flavor, with highly skilled horse competitions, a cattle drive, and cowboy gear exposition.

The most unique event in the CLASSIC SOUTH is the Oliver Hardy Festival in Harlem, birthplace of the great comic. The annual celebration includes a Laurel and Hardy movie marathon, professional Laurel and Hardy impersonators, and an Oliver Hardy look-alike contest. The small town of Washington is a savory piece of the old South whose architectural gems span the centuries since its founding in 1773 and
incorporated in 1780. In the fine
tradition of Southern hospitality, townspeople welcome visitors inside a selection of residences the first Saturday in April during the Washington-Wilkes Tour of Homes. Within this city's limits there are four districts and 14 individual properties listed on the National Register. Kettle Creek Battlefield marks the site of a decisive 1779 Revolutionary War battle that broke the British hold over Georgia. The Robert Toombs House Historic Site, built in 1794, was the home of the Confederate Brigadier General and Secretary of State for the Confederacy. Callaway Plantation, five miles west of town, is a restored working plantation featuring a collection of early American dwellings. The Washington Historical Museum, an antebellum white frame house, contains a remarkable assemblage of Confederate items and other period exhibits, including a collection of Indian artifacts.
Lincoln County Courthouse, Lincolnton

Washington's pretty town square is the centerpiece to a number of quaint shops and historical buildings, and several cozy bed and breakfast accommodations.
Hancock County invites visitors to explore 200 years of history on a driving tour prepared by the Chamber of Commerce in Sparta. This journey down city streets and county back roads starts at the grand Victorian Hancock County Courthouse and provides excellent views of Greek Revival plantations; Federal, Georgian, and Victorian homes; and two early 19th century water-powered grist mills.
The city of Crawfordville, which has been used over and over as a location by Hollywood filmakers and television producers, is the site of Alexander H. Stephens State Historic Park. This memorial to the onetime U.S. Congressman, Vice President of the Confederacy, and Governor of Georgia includes his beloved home, Liberty Hall. The beautiful 1875 structure sits adjacent to a Confederate Museum considered to have the best collection of its kind in the state. From Thanksgiving through New Year's, Crawfordville becomes a fairyland of 120,000 lights for the annual Christmas in Dixie celebration.
One of the great recreational resources of the CLASSIC SOUTH is Clark's
Hill Lake, which borders Columbia,
McDuffie, Wilkes, Warren and Lincoln counties. Formed by

For spectators, a tractor-pulled Tally-Ho Wagon follows through the hunt country, affording a glimpse of the fast-paced chase of the fox. The Belle Meade takes place every Wednesday and Saturday, November through March, and begins with the formal Blessing of the Hounds on the first Saturday of November.

Louisville, on the Ogeechee River 25 miles west of Waynesboro, was Georgia's capital from 1795 to 1806. The city's most cherished landmark from this era, the Old Market House, still stands in the center of town. Its bell was cast in Franee in 1772 and shipped to a New Orleans convent, but along the way it was hijacked by pirates. Louisville acquired the bell because it was the state capital when the pirates were eventually caught off

The state parks in some of the CLASSIC SOUTH's most rural areas combine natural surroundings and historic sites with first-rate recreational facilities. At George L. Smith State Park in Twin City, there's scenic Watson Mill, a dam, covered bridge, and mill house built in 1880. The 1850 water-powered grist mill at Hamburg State Park in Mitchell still grinds corn meal each day. The longest covered bridge remaining in Georgia is inside Watson Mill Bridge State Park south of Comer. Magnolia Springs State Park in Millen is known for its crystal clear springs. During the Civil War this land was a POW camp for 10,000 men. Adjacent to the park is the Bo Ginn National Fish Hatchery, which plays a vital role in stocking America's fishery reserves.
The CLASSIC SOUTH is not without its curiosities. A Haunted Pillar in downtown Augusta has defied all attempts to move it from a public sidewalk. The 15-ton Shaking Rock in Oglethorpe County can be teetered, but not dislodged, from its perch atop a smaller stone. And the entire Confederate treasury, last seen at Chennault Plantation in Lincolnton, cannot be found anywhere, though rumors say the gold is hidden somewhere on the plantation.
In today's CLASSIC SOUTH, the valued assets are stately old homes, beautiful scenery, and rich recreational resources. Even more precious to this region is its knack for making visitors feel right at home. That's the charm of a CLASSIC SOUTH vacation... trappings and traditions for those who want a taste of times to remember.

1994 Georgia On My Mind

W hether your idea of a dream
vacation is camping out at the lake, staying in a hotel on the beach, or staying with relatives in the suburbs, the best vacation is a safe vacation. Pack up these tips, provided by the safety experts at Egleston, and take them along on your vacation this year:
Traveling a long distance by car? Have your car checked and serviced before leaving home. Keep plenty of gas in the tank at all times.
Let someone know your travel route and timetable.
6 Use well -marked, well-
maintained travel routes whenever possible.
Make sure all passengers are buckled up properly. Georgia law says all children under the age of 18 must be properly secured with a safety belt or child safety seat while traveling. Never allow children to ride in cargo areas of trucks, vans, or station wagons.

Always lock the car doors while traveling.
When loading luggage, remember that loose objects, especially those with sharp edges, can be dangerous if the driver has to stop suddenly.
Driving is safer if young passengers are calm and wellbehaved. Bring along toys and activities that will keep kids happy and occupied. (Never allow pens, pencils, or sharp objects to be used in a moving car.) Stop often to let children use the bathroom and stretch.

Traveling by air? The Federal Aviation Administration strongly advises buckling children up in child/infant safety seats. For a safe trip, check with the carrier in advance about policies.
When you 're away, be aware of hazards that may not exist at home. Watch your child closely. Look for dangers that could cause choking, poisoning, falls , drowning, burns, and other serious injuries.
While in others' homes, limit your child's access to pocketbooks, luggage, or shopping bags, which could contain medications or other poisons.

A Sunburns are dangerous and
~ painful. Limit your child's direct
exposure to the sun, especially from 11 a.m . to 3 p.m. Apply a sunscreen with a sun protection factor (SPF) of at least 15 often.

AT EMORY UNIVERSIT Y

Make sure non-swimmers wear life jackets at all times when in or near the wnter.

For more information call the Egleston safety experts at 404-321-KIDS.

Savannah became its leading center of
commerce, and the city prospered.
Oglethorpe drew a careful plan for Savannah's streets: a grid pattern with 24 parklike squares. The squares grew to be shaded by moss-draped live oak and magnolia trees and were planted with banks of vivid azalea and oleander. Stately homes, churches, and rowhouses gave the city such a handsome look that, years later, during the Civil War, Union General
William T. Sherman decided not to
burn it.
With the decline of cotton came a waning of Savannah's inner city appeal. Urban renewal in the early 1950s almost destroyed her faded 18th and 19th century treasures, but the Historic Savannah Foundation stepped in to save the important heritage sites. By 1966, a 2.2 square mile area had been reclaimed and designated a National Historic Landmark District, one of the largest, most highly acclaimed in the U .S. More than 1,400 structures have been restored to their original splendor here

Sat1annah 's Historic District is one of the largest in the country .
and are used now as homes, churches, offices, and shops.
The city's Victorian District is a suburb undergoing similar transformation and offers a fascinating view of preservation in progress, with striking contrasts between "before" and "afi:er."
A multi-million dollar Riverfront Plaza constructed in the mid-1970s restored a nine-block area along the

Savannah River that used to be the old cotton exchange and warehouses. Now the brick buildings house more than 75 boutiques, galleries, anists srudios, museums, restaurants, and pubs. The riverfront is a center of Savannah nightlife and a popular place by day, as visitors meander the cobblestone streets, relax on park benches, soak up the old world ambiance and watch the ships go by.
City Market in the center of the Historic District is one of the most recent restorations. With the intention of recapruring the atmosphere of the old marketplace, more than thiny anists work in open lofts where they commission, display and sell their works of an. There are also gifi: shops, restaurants and an outdoor courtyard cafe here, as well as several jazz clubs for evening entenainment.
The best place to get oriented to Savannah is at the visitor center and Savannah History Museum on Martin Luther King, Jr. Blvd. A host of tour companies depart from here to

1994 Georgia On My Mind

Visit Richmond Hill, just 10 minutes from Savannah, and you' ll soon discover why it's one ofthe fastest growing counties in all of Georgia. It might be the convenient access ofl-95, the coastal waters teaming with game fish, the rela.--ced quality of life, or the rich southern heritage of Fort McAllister. But one thing' s for sure, it' s unmatched anywhere along the Georgia coast. Henry Ford liked it so much he built his winter home here and regularly hosted friends Thomas Edison and Harvey Firestone. General Sherman on his infamous March to the Sea proclaimed the taking of Fort McAllister as "the handsomest thing I have seen in this war". And ifhe thought it was handsome then h e should see it now! Please visit us at Exit 14 on I-95, midway between Orlando, FL and Myrtle Beach, SC.

The Massie Heritage Interpretation Center puts into perspective Savannah's architectural heritage and styling details. Eight house museums in the historic district are open to the public, including the first to be saved by Historic Savannah, the family homes of Girl Scout founder Juliette Gordon Low. Extraordinary examples of the Regency designs by architect William Jay. The Green-Meld.rim House, which belonged to a wealthy cotton planter, was picked by General Sherman for his headquarters during the Union occupation of Savannah.
Savannah's African-American history and culture are preserved at the 1896 King-Tisdell Cottage. The Beach Institute, established in 1865 to educate newly freed slaves, exhibits works by nationally renowned black artists and features wood carvings by the late folk artist Ulysses Davis, who lived in Savannah for 40 years. The First African Baptist Church stems from the oldest black congregation in the U.S.
Horse-drawn carriages dip-clop around the squares by day and early evening, giving tours with a period flavor. Replicas ofAmerica's historic riverboats offer narrated cruises, some with dinner and entertainment, and excellent views of the riverfront.
Savannah's 18th and 19th century character is most tangible at the city's two dozen historic inns and guest houses. A couple of these are cozy bed and breakfasts, but most are elegant, comfortable lodgings with antique furnishings and traditional extras, like sherry in the parlor, or afternoon tea. There are two deluxe convention hotels within the historic district, too, and numerous hotels and motels throughout the city.

The beaches of Georgia's Colonial Coast.
Screven and Tybee Lighthouse are fun for exploration and climbing, while the white sand beach invites sunbathing, crabbing, and water sports. There's a fishing pier, and deep-sea charters are readily available. Fort Pulaski National Monument, built prior to the Civil War to guard the sea-approach to Savannah, is located not far from Tybee. Always fond of a good parry, Savannahians welcome visitors to dozens of special events throughout the year. Their St. Patrick's Day bash

is second in size only to New York's. The last weekend in March, when the city blushes with brilliant spring flowers, the posh Tour of Homes and Gardens opens its doors. A Night in Old Savannah in mid-May celebrates the city's diverse roots with a multi-ethnic food fest. In early August the Maritime Festival focuses on the area's water spore activities and coincides with pre-Olympic sailing regattas. Mid-November through December brings a flurry of yuletide activiry for Christmas in Savannah. And each first Saturday of the month, Riverfront Plaza becomes the busy scene of First Saturday Festivals, with changing themes to suit the seasons.
The 80 miles of coastal plain separating Savannah from the Golden Isles can be travelled quickly on I-95, or gradually along Highway 17. The slower route meanders by small towns intermingled with old plantation sites, historic forts and fishing villages.

ramps, and non-boating fishing access points are plentiful in Richmond Hill, Midway, Darien, Brunswick and Sr. Marys.
Hinesville, one of 32 Main Street projects in Georgia, has a restored commercial district, the Old Liberty County Jail, and a Military Museum at Fort Stewart. Ar Midway, the 1729 church counts among its early members two Signers of the DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE and two Revolutionary War generals. The adjacent Midway Museum contains furniture, anifacts, and documents from the 18th and 19th centuries. Darien, Georgia's second oldest town, was a thriving lumber center until 1925. Its pretty squares and "Ridge" area ofsea captains' residences draw attention, as does Fort King George, a replica of an original 1721 blockhouse-style fort.
Darien's welcome center on Highway 17 is a source of information and reservations for the Sapelo Island Ferry. Limited numbers of visitors are allowed on the island, which is now the Sapelo Island Estuarine Research Reserve. Tours include the University of Georgia Marine Research Institute, the exterior of a palatial home once owned by a tobacco scion, miles of unspoiled beaches, and the delicate salt marsh eco-system.
The Hofwyl-Broadfield Plantation, in the Alramaha River delta ten miles north of Brunswick, provides a glimpse into the lives and culture of the Georgia rice coast after 1800. The "low country" plantation house is surrounded by work buildings, rice fields and dikes, and well-marked walking trails. A movie in the museum explains the history and importance of rice cultivation in the region.
Creek and Guale Indians were the first inhabitants of the area known today as The Golden Isles. These barrier, or sea islands with their dense vegetation and winding waterways were much disputed territory among warring European nations and plundering sea pirates until the

Colonial COAST

English finally prevailed at the Battle of Bloody Marsh in 1742. This decisive conflict assured English dominance in the New World and is commemorated at the Bloody Marsh Battle Site on St. Simons Island.
In 1736, General Oglethorpe built an expensive fortification on St. Simons to help protect British interests to the north. Fort Frederica housed several hundred self-sufficient families until fire in 1758 ravaged most of the settlement. The site is now a National Monument of tabby ruins brought to life through artful interpretion by the National Park Service.
After the Revolutionary War some of the sea islands became cotton plantations, producing such a superior variety that it was exported all over the world. That way of life is gone, though, replaced by a thriving tourist interest in the Golden Isles' sparkling beaches, natural landscapes, fine resort hotels, and spectacular golf courses.
One hundred ofAmerica's most wealthy and influential men purchased Jekyll Island in 1886 and

formed the Jekyll Island Club as their exclusive winter retreat. They built a large, turreted clubhouse and several private "cottages," spent 56 idyllic seasons hunting, horseback riding, playing tennis and golf, and made sure "no unwanted foot ever stepped on the island."
In 1947, The State of Georgia bought Jekyll Island and expanded it into a magnificent getaway accessible to
everyone. The Jekyll Island Club Historic District, a N ational Historic

Landmark, has been restored and runs daily guided tours. The Victorian clubhouse has been turned into an elegant hotel, and nine other hotel/motel properties, in every price range, have been built on the beachside of the island.
A 63-hole public golf course, tennis and fitness centers, water theme parks, and a 20-mile bicycle path have been added over the years. There are campgrounds near the beach, picnic areas, and a fishing pier.
Sightseeing and dinner cruises, fishing charters, and dolphin watches depart
each day from the Jekyll Island Historic Marina. Annual beach
festivals feature country rock stars and beach music oldie goldies.
Sea Island is best known for its one choice accommodation, a 5-star golf, tennis and beach resort built in the late 1920s. Gracious private "cottages" are also located on this island.
On St. Simons Island, there are beachside condos and luxury hotels, deluxe golf resorts, and some of the

prettiest scenery on the islands. Many of the best eateries are on Sc. Simons, as well as sophisticated shopping and nightlife. Probably the most photographed spot in the islands is the enchanting little Christ Church on Frederica Road. The most familiar landmark is the 1872 Lighthouse and Museum of Coastal History in Sc. Simons Village. Visitors are welcome to climb the 129 seeps for a panoramic view of the seascape.
Despite an abundance of resorts, golfing in the COLONIAL COAST need not be a packaged vacation. Numerous "pay and play" courses are popping up throughout the region, in Savannah, Richmond Hill, Brunswick, Folkston, and Kingsland/Sc. Marys.
Hampton River Club Marina, at the northern tip of Sc. Simons, is the starting point for a trip co Little St. Simons Island, 10,000 acres of perfectly conserved marshes, pristine beaches, and thickly wooded maritime forests. Since lodging is available for just 24 guests at a time, many of the visitors are summer daycrippers, who eagerly hop aboard the back of a flatbed truck for naturalise-led interpretive tours.
Brunswick, gateway city to the Golden Isles, is also the Shrimp Capital of the World. Butterflynetted fishing boats returning with the day's catch are a commonplace sight along the lntracoastal Waterway and the Shrimp Docks on Gloucester Street. Common, too, is the plentiful variety of fresh seafood in local restaurants, and the rich flavors of coastal favorites like Low Country Boil, Cashew Shrimp, She Crab Soup, and Brunswick Stew.
The wide-reaching salt marsh, where the seafood begins its life-cycle, was immortalized in 1878, in Sidney Lanier's famous poem, "The Marshes of Glynn," written as he sat beneath Lanier Oak, and best viewed from Marshes of Glynn Overlook Park.
Less than an hour's drive south of Brunswick, the small towns of Sc. Marys and Kingsland have blended together of lace. The cute, rwo-block

main street in Kingsland still has its turn-of-the-century aura and shops chat specialize in antiques and Early American collectibles. The heart of sleepy little St. Marys is its waterfront pavilion, departure point for trips to Cumberland Island. A guided tour of local heritage sites is available through the welcome center in Orange Hall, a Greek Revival antebellum mansion listed on the National Register Of Historic Places.
Most of Georgia's southernmost barrier island is protected as Cumberland Island National Seashore and administered by the National Park Service. Ocher than a small, privately operated inn, primitive campsites are the only overnight accommodations here. Reservations are essential for camping and ferry service.
The inhabitants of Cumberland Island are mostly wild. Horses wander freely. The marshes are home to ducks and long-legged wading birds. Alligators live in the freshwater ponds. Deer, squirrels and raccoons hide under the chick interior canopy of gnarled oak limbs, palmetto funs and woody vines, and scamper among ruins of two 18th and 19th century mansions. Loggerhead turtles deposit their eggs by white sand dunes on a beautiful, unsullied beach.
Equally intriguing, though not as solitary, is the Okefenokee Swamp.

This 438,000-acre National Wildlife Refuge and parkland, the largest and most ecologically intact of its kind in America, is easily accessed from three Georgia cities. In Fargo Stephen C. Foster State Park has cabins and campgrounds, as well as rental canoes and guided boat tours. At Folkston Suwanee Canal Recreation Area has a swamp boardwalk, a 50-foot call observation tower and sweeping views of the surrounding prairies, lakes, and cypress domes.
The Okefenokee Swamp Park in Waycross provides the lease demanding way to see the "Land of the Trembling Earth," as the Seminole Indians called it. A 20-minuce guided boat tour focuses on the abundant plant and animal life, while the interpretive center presents lectures, films, and live exhibits. The Okefenokee Heritage Center and Obediah's Okefenok, an original 1830s homestead, describe the pioneer lifestyle in early Waycross.
The mysterious swamp, the untarnished wilderness, the pleasure of sport amid the beauty of nature-these are the perennial lures of the coastal plain. Woven together with sunny resorts, historic cities, and quaint seaside villages, they form a tapestry of treasures to be enjoyed again and again. They are the timeless bounty of Georgia's COLONIAL
COAST.

Historic HEARTLA.\'D

floral oasis awaits winter travelers. Nine acres of camellias bloom November-March, followed in spring by azaleas, dogwoods, narcissus, iris, and roses. The Stevens-Taylor Gallery and Fetterman Museum on the same site showcase the largest and most complete collection of Edward Marshall Boehm porcelains in the world.
Northeast of Perry, the Museum of Aviation at Warner Robins Air Force Base has recently doubled its exhibit space and expanded its collection of outstanding military aircraft to more than 80, including the F- l 5A Eagle that played a key role in Desert Storm.
All of the towns on the Antebellum Trail (U.S. 129/GA. 22/U.S. 441 east ofI-75) from Macon to Athens managed to survive the Civil War intact. Their legacy is a wealth of charming cottages and opulent mansions in styles ranging from the New England village look of Old Clinton to the Federal Period Church-Waddel-Brumby House in

Athens, to the white-columned Old Governor's Mansion in Milledgeville, and the fabulous Italianate Renaissance Hay House in Macon. Each Antebellum Trail town has a unique historic core, and more.
Athens has grown up around the influences of the University of Georgia, where the Georgia Museum of Art, the State Botanical Garden of Georgia, and the new Butts-Mehre Heritage Hall of athletic history add to the local attractions.
Madison has remained quiet and beautiful, with a designated historic district so large it encompasses most of the town. Private homes are open for tours four times a year, while Heritage Hall, the Madison-Morgan Cultural Center, and the new Morgan County African- American Museum welcome visitors year-round.
Eatonton's historic courthouse square has long been complemented by a Brer Rabbit Statue and the Uncle Remus Museum, honoring the work of onetime resident, author Joel

CarroU O'Connor on the set of the hit 1V series "In the Heat of the Night" filmed in Cooington.
Chandler Harris. Eatonton is also the gateway to Lakes Oconee and Sinclair, which provide over 34,000 acres of water and nearly 800 miles of shoreline for fishing, camping, boating and swimming.

surrounded by peach blossoms glows with a golden hue during its annual Forsythia Festival (April 23-24, 1994).
A few miles east in Juliette, the primary color is green, as in FRIED GREEN TOMATOES. They are now served hot at The Whistle Stop Cafe, the actual film location of the recent movie. Other notable stops in this area include the Piedmont
Wildlife Refuge, Lake Juliette and the 1847 Jarrell Plantation Historic Site.
The HISTORIC HEARTLAND has been used often as settings for Hollywood film and television productions. Its period flavor is genuine, as in Covington on I-20, where the CBS series IN THE HEAT OF THE NIGHT has been shooting for the last six seasons.
The region is also appealing to outdoor enthusiasts. Four state parks

and the Oconee National Forest offer camping, hiking, hunting, fishing, boating, picknicking, and even go! Hard Labor Creek State Park in Rutledge has an 18-hole course, plus horseback riding and 20 rental cottages.
For shoppers, quaint small town stores feature country wares and local handicrafts, while the Peach Festival Outlet Center in Byron (I-75 at The Big Peach) contains more than two dozen name brand manufacturer outlets. Barnesville Hardware in Barnesville, esr.ablished in 1870, transcends the march of time as one of the oldest hardware stores in Georgia.
The region that gave the Peach State its nickname is one that carefully protects the past. Its landmarks and legends tug at the heartstrings, hoping the curious will stop and discover that the essence of Georgia lives in her HISTORIC HEARTIAND.

MAGNOLIA MIDLANDS is recognized now, but there is more to this region than great fishing and gourmet onions. Its ten rivers and sundry lakes are ideal for boating, water-skiing, and swimming. Numerous hunting reserves stock wild game to please the most avid sports enthusiasts. There is wide open space for golfers, too, and a host of challenging, newly-developed courses.
Above all, MAGNOLIA MIDLANDS is proud of its appealing backroads, for here on this vast, pine-studded, fertile plain, uncrowded highways take travelers to towns and attractions that are gracious, Southern, and special.
Interstate 16 stretches across the northern part of MAGNOLIA MIDLANDS, offering easy access to Dexter's annual Possum Hollow Arts and Crafts Festival and the amenities of Dublin and East Dublin.
Irish eyes smile year-round in these twin cities, but in March the entire community goes green for the Dublin-Laurens St. Patrick's Festival, an extravagant two-week salute to the Irish ancestry of Dublin. Historic Bellevue Avenue leads downtown where the Dublin- Laurens Museum houses local history exhibits and historic walking tour information. Green is also the color at Riverview Golf Course, an 18-hole course on the banks of the Oconee River. Used for fishing and recreation today, the Oconee is the site of Fish Trap Cut, built here about 1000 B.C. as an aboriginal fishcrap.
Soperton, farther east, is the home of the Million Pines Arts and Crafts Festival, named to honor the work of a local conservationist who planted seven million pine saplings here. The Million Pines Visitor Center in the 1845 Curt Barwick House has information on the area's #1 industry, pine gum production, and Troup's Tomb, an elaborate granite memorial on the plantation of former Georgia Governor George M. Troup.
Vidalia, 15 miles south ofI-16, celebrates the spring harvest with onion farm tours and onion cooking

and eating contests during the 10-day Vidalia Onion Festival in late April/early May. The recently opened Foxfire Golf Course provides 18 holes of play in a beautiful rural setting. This small Georgia town is also known for the Ladson Genealogical and Historical Library, one of the largest genealogical research libraries in the Southeast, and the Alcama Gallery, a museum of art and history inside the restored 1911 Brazell House.
Dublin
Close by in Lyons, another piece of history has been renovated for contemporary use, the turn-of-thecentury Robert Toombs Inn, now a cozy bed and breakfast. The Commissary, once part of a 1930 lumber mill, has been recycled into a lakeside welcome center offI-16 at Metter. In town, the lovely, three-acre Guido Gardens sits next to "The Sower" Studios, the radio production center of religious broadcaster Michael Guido. U.S. Hwy. 341, "The Golden Isles Parkway", is one of the most popular non-expressway routes from middle Georgia to the coastal beaches. It runs through Hawkinsville, the "Harness Horse Training Capital of the South", where harness horses are trained annually on the red clay mile and half-mile tracks of the training facility. The Hawkinsville Harness Festival draws thousands each April to witness the uncommon sport of harness racing. Hawkinsville's Historic Opera House, Taylor Hall and The Black

Swan Inn are a few of the many 19th and turn of the century historic sites here. Further down U.S. 341 is Eastman, known for the original site of Stuckey's Candy but still home to pecan log rolls made fresh daily and sold in candy outlets. Historic driving tours take you to the Stuckey's homes and pecan orchards.
Pine Bluff Golf and Country Club has 18 holes of challenging play on its recently opened course, where meeting space, exercise facility and restaurant make for a great experience. The Dodge County Public Fishing Lake in Eastman offers excellent outdoor facilities: a 125-acre lake, floating docks, boat ramps, and nature trails. Next door in Telfair County, there are plenty of public access fishing spots on the Ocmulgee River between Jacksonville and Lumber City, plus a 265-acre fishing lake in Little Ocmulgee State Park in McRae.
The park is a mecca for golfers, as well, with a 30-room lodge, restaurant and conference center overlooking a top-rated 18-hole golf course, four lighted tennis courts, and two swimming pools. There are fully-equipped cottages and campsites at Little Ocmulgee, too.
McRae-Telfair County also caters to hunters. Its two wildlife management areas total 35,000 acres of pine and hardwood forest along the Ocmulgee River.
Superb fishing and hunting continue along U.S. 341 in Hazlehurst, Baxley, and Jesup. Hazlehurst is situated at the confluence of the Ocmulgee and Altamaha Rivers, the latter being the premier large-mouth bass fishing river in Southeast Georgia. Bullard Creek
Wildlife Management Area on the
south bank of the Alcamaha offers 16,000 acres of pine, hardwood, and river swamp, and an archery range on the premises.
Fishing, boating, swimming, and
water-skiing are available at Lake
Mayers in Baxley. The Edwin I. Hatch Nuclear Plant Visitor Center, also in Baxley, is an educational showcase for nuclear power, with

Nathaniel Hawthorne, famous author of The Scarlet Letter, once wrote it would be quite difficult to write a romance about a country "where there is no shadow, no antiquity, no
mystery, no picturesque..." At Golden Era Auction Company a little of the picturesque, a little of the mystery, and certainly a little of the past passes through its doors every day.

lair DJ

Housed in a 14,000 square foot building in

Mountain City, GA, Golden Era holds monthly

auctions, offers extensive estate appraisal services, and includes Rogers House Antiques, a

store that boasts a broad range of antiques from Southern primitive to formal to unusual

architectural furnishings . Golden Era will offer a series of four auctions of a museum in early

1994. As auctioneer Greg Peters says, "Even though we're big enough to buy museums, we

always want to be small enough to handle every individual customer's needs."

For information on upcoming auctions, appraisal services, or Rogers House call (706) 7466924. Or visit Golden Era at Highway 441 North, Mountain City, GA 30562.

Wild Ri\ler Country
The Chattooga River, known for its breathtaking scenery and thrilling rapids, was included in the National Wild & Scenic Rivers Act of 1974. Forming its head-waters in the steep mountains around Highlands, North Carolina, the Chattooga cascades down the border of South Carolina and Georgia to eventually complete its journey in Lake Tugaloo. The upper reaches contain remarkable hiking and fishing while the lower portions provide outstanding whitewater rafting and canoeing in one of the last true wilderness settings in the Eastern U.S.
Rapids such as Painted Rock, Screaming Left Turn, Rock Jumble and the Legendary Bull Sluice challenge you on Section 3 of the river.
On Section 4, waterfalls and steep cliffs provide a dramatic backdrop, where you may enjoy wildflowers, birdlife and mountain-side colors.

The areas bordering I-85 and I-985 embrace the foothills of the Appalachian chain and boast three of the region's seven big lakes, half a dozen state parks, a pair of wineries, and twin golf resorts at Lake Lanier Islands.
Juse 45 minutes from Atlanta, Lake
Sidney Lanier was formed by damming the Chattahoochee River. Four mountaintops that weren't submerged became Lake Lanier Islands, a authority-regulated water park and recreation resort with first-class hotels, championship golf courses, cottages, campgrounds, and a sizeable sailboat and houseboat rental fleet. A sandy beach and horseback riding make this a successful day-use faciliry, as well as a year-round destination.
In Braselton, a town owned by movie actress Kim Basinger, Chateau Elan has a luxury spa and an 18-hole championship golf course to complement its winemaking and

tasting activities. At nearby Chestnut Mountain Winery, there is another vineyard and sampling room, with picnic areas and nature trails on the grounds.
Road Atlanta, between Braselton and Gainesville, is the South's premier motorsports venue and the place where movie star Paul Newman made his mark in the world of Grand Prix racmg.

Gainesville, the largest ciry in the NORTHEAST GEORGIA MOUNTAINS, is filled to the brim with outdoor facilities: marinas, tennis courts, golf courses, and 50 parks and campgrounds. The Elachee Nature Center, a natural history museum and botanical garden, is located in the middle of a 1,200-acre nature preserve. In the downtown area, Green Street Station houses local

history displays, an excellent crafts gallery, and the Mark Trail Memorabilia Exhibit, the personal collection of noted cartoonist Ed Dodd.
The Crawford W. Long Museum in Jefferson honors the local physician who was the first to use ether for surgical anesthesia. Historic Commerce, in the same county, is the 19th century town which inspired the setting for the widely-acclaimed novel by Olive Ann Burns, Cold Sassy Tree.
Will-a-Way Recreation Area, a unique development at Fort Yargo State Park in Winder, serves the handicapped with accessible cottages, group camp, food service and swimming beach. In Royston, fifty miles co the northeast, Victoria Bryant State Park has a popular 9-hole golf course on a rolling green terrain. Four state parks built on Lake Hartwell, Lake Russell and Clark's Hill Lake add extensive camping, rental cottages and lakeside beaches to the region's recreational environment.
Elbert County, center of Georgia's granite quarrying industry, is the home of the Elberton Granite Museum and a Stonehenge-like attraction called The Guidestones.

In the mid-section of the NORTHEAST GEORGIA MOUNTAINS, the roads get hillier and the countryside more breathtaking, as a drive along the Russell-Brasscown Scenic Byway (GA 348) will prove. Towns with unusual character appear, as do several of the region's many refreshing waterfalls.
Dahlonega, meaning "precious yellow metal" in the Cherokee language, is the town where America's first major gold rush began in 1828. Its 19th Century courthouse square is surrounded by antique and Appalachian craft shops, while at the center of the square, the handsome

Unicoi State Park prooides many opportunitiess to explore the beauty of Georgia.

Gold Museum depicts 160 years of prospecting history and Dahlonega's significance as the former site of a U .S. Mint. There is still gold in the hills of Dahlonega and several mines where visitors can pan for it and keep what they find.
More riches can be found at the Smith House, whose all-you-can-eat meals draw crowds from around the world co sample Southern fried chicken, honey-cured ham, and platters heaped with at least a dozen side dishes and desserts. The Dillard House in Dillard and LaPrade's on Lake Burton are equally good and just as busy serving chis kind of mountain-grown, family-style supper.
Canoeing and hiking are available co offset restaurant indulgences. Appalachian Outfitters offers canoe clinics, equipment rentals and guided trips down the Chestatee and Etowah Rivers. The southern terminus of the Appalachain Trail at Springer Mountain can be accessed from an eight-mile trail in Amicalola Falls State Park between Dahlonega and Dawsonville. The 729-foot Amicalola Falls is the highest east of the Rockies.
Dawsonville is also the home of the racing operation of NASCAR Champion Bill Elliott and the Bill Elliott Museum.
The irresistible attraction in Cleveland is zany Babyland General Hospital, birthplace of the original Cabbage Patch Kids, where imaginations run wild in a whimsical world of make-believe.
Helen is Georgia's Bavarian Alpine Village. A face-lift 25 years ago transformed chis almost deserted logging town into a bright collection of restaurants, shops and lodges with a decidedly German flavor. Annual Oktoberfest and Fasching Karnival celebrations add co the light-hearted atmosphere in Helen, where favorite spores activities are hot air ballooning and tubing down the Chattahoochee River.
Spectacular Anna Ruby Falls, in the Chattahoochee National Forest east of Helen, is not far from Unicoi State

Helen, is not far from Unicoi State Park. Besides cottages and campgrounds, Unicoi has a 100room lodge and conference center and a superb arts and crafts shop.
More handicrafts are on display at Mark of the Potter just outside Clarkesville. This 60-year old grist mill on the tranquil Soque River is also a studio for working potters.
Cornelia's Big Red Apple monument is a tribute to immigrant farmers who established a thriving apple-growing industry in Habersham County in the early 1900s. More recently, Habersham Vineyards and W mery has been cultivating grapes for awardwinning wines, which can be sampled in their tasting room on GA 365.
In neighboring Stephens County, Toccoa Falls, 19 feet higher than Niagara Falls, is a majestic sight on the campus of Toccoa Falls College. Traveler's Rest Historic Site near the Tugaloo River was once a stagecoach inn and plantation house.
The "Top of Georgia" in the northeast mountains is rugged and awesome high country. Here U.S. 76 threads its way through the tallest mountain range in the state. Glassy lakes in Union, Towns and Rabun Counties provide swimming, boating, fishing, and water-skiing. Campgrounds, rental cabins, quaint

lodges and a deluxe golf resort dot the heavily-forested landscape.
The area's state parks, Vogel, Moccasin Creek, and Black Rock Mountain, are among the most visited in Georgia, no doubt because of their magnificent surroundings. Nearly all of this land is within the boundaries of the Chattahoochee National Forest.
Natural wonders in this neck of the woods include the Wild and Scenic Chattooga River, perfect for whitewater rafting thrills, and Brasstown Bald, the highest mountain in Georgia at 4,784 feet. The 360 degree view from the Observation Deck of Brasstown Bald encompasses four states. Tallulah Gorge, carved through quartzite rock by the Tallulah River, is a vast chasm once crossed on tightrope by circus patriarch Karl Wallenda. The longest of Tallulah's three falls plunges 700 feet to the canyon floor.
Blairsville's Sorghum Festival and Hiawassee's Georgia Mountain Fair are the biggest fall and summer celebrations in the area. The Reach of Song, an Appalachian historical drama filled with regional music, dance and humor, runs from late May through early August.
In Rabun County the Dillard family label seems to be everywhere.

outdoor adventure and historic trails chat span che centuries.
Chieftains Trail in che NORTHWEST GEORGIA MOUNTAINS explores che traces of chree great Native civilizations which once occupied che territory. In Cartersville che Etowah Indian Mounds State Historic Site cells che story of che Mississipean Culture of corn farmers (1000-1500 A.O.) whose age-old temple mounds still stand. The Weinman Mineral Museum displays the mineral treasures used by chese Indians as gifts and in ceremonial observances, as well as a collection of cheir ancient artifacts.
The Cherokee Indian Nacion made the most significant impression in Norchwest Georgia. They were the largest of five civilized tribes of the Soucheast, lived in log homes, and developed cheir own written language and constitution in the early 1820s. Unfortunately, gold was discovered in North Georgia in 1828, and the rush for land by white men led co che Cherokees' forced expulsion in 1838. Half of chem died on a brutal 2,000-mile march co Oklahoma, the infamous "Trail ofTears."
The greatest of the Cherokee Chiefs was John Ross. His 1797 log home, The John Ross House, is located in Rossville. Anocher Chief, James Vann, built the "Showplace of the Cherokee Nation" in Chatsworth in 1804. The Chief Vann House State Historic Site, a Federal-style brick mansion wich a cantilevered staircase and fine antiques, was used by Vann for educational gacherings between mCh1.sesr1.o0kneaer1.leesa. ders and Moravian
A few miles away at Fort Mountain State Park, a prehistoric, man-made wall of rocks presents a mystery, but is thought co be the work oflndians over a thousand years ago.
Chieftains Museum in Rome is the plantation house of a third prominent Cherokee, Major Ridge, who tried to adapt to che white culture while retaining his Native roots. He operated a store and a ferryboat, as well as che plantation, but is best

known for having signed the TREATI OF NEW ECHOTA which led to the expulsion of his people from Georgia. He and his son were later murdered by "Trail of Tears" survivors who felt he had betrayed chem.
Chickamauga-Chattanooga National Military Park.
New Echota was the capital of che Cherokee Nation and is now a Seate Historic Site in Calhoun. Prior to che treaty signed chere in 1835, it was the seat of government for an independent Indian Nation chat covered norchern Georgia and four soucheastern states. The buildings on site include a museum, Supreme Courchouse, Vann's Tavern, the home of a missionary, and the print shop chat published che bilingual CHEROKEE PHOENIX, che only Indian language newspaper ever printed in Norch America. This paper registered che great literary achievement of Sequoyah, inventor of che written syllables of the Cherokee language. The Tate House, or "Pink Marble Mansion," in Pickens County is an estate house on 27 acres chat originally belonged to the Cherokees, and furcher evidence chat their removal separated chem from a land of riches. The house was built in 1926 by Colonel Sam Tate, president of the Georgia Marble Company, as a showcase for the marble from his nearby quarries. The Tate House is now a luxury bed and breakfast inn, and che quarries are open for public tours during che annual Georgia Marble Festival the first weekend in October.

The looping Chieftains Trail involves U.S. Highways 27, 76, and 411 and Georgia Scace Roads 2, 52, 53, and 515. Gateways to che trail at welcome centers in Marietta, Rome, Dalton, and Blue Ridge provide print and audio-visual information about che route.
Meandering along 1-75 from Chattanooga co Atlanta, che Blue and Gray Trail of Civil War Sites centers on watershed events chat led to che Battle of Atlanta and the fiery march through Georgia of General Sherman.
Crucial battles at Chickamauga and Chattanooga in 1863 opened a Union corridor through the tough Tennessee/Georgia mountains and sealed the face of che Old South forever. Among the most important of the Blue and Gray Trail's 58 sites is the Chickamauga-Chattanooga National Military Park, the oldest and largest military park in the U.S. An 8-mile tour route, markers, and monuments on its 8,000 acres are dedicated to the 35,000 soldiers who died here. The park museum features che Fuller Gun Collection, 355 weapons dating from che Revolutionary War to World War II, and a multi-media presentation recounting the derails of the battles and the origin of che National Military Park System.
Near Historic Downtown Chickamauga, che Gordon-Lee Mansion was commandeered by the Union as a headquarters and military hospital in 1863. Today it is a bed and breakfast inn.
Prater's Mill in Dalton, a chree-scory grist mill used as a campsite by boch Union and Confederate troops in 1864, is now fully restored and the scene of the semi-annual Prater's Mill Country Fair the second weekend of May and October.
The Adairsville Depot marks the spot where the Civil War's "Great Locomotive Chase" switched gears and went into reverse, as depicted in the Walt Disney movie by the same name. The Great Locomotive Chase Festival held here che first weekend in October remembers chis colorful event.

1994 Georgia On My Mind

Desoto stopped by Cartersville to see the Etowah Indian Mounds in 1540. He caused such an uproar that thousands of folks packed up and left town. The majestic ceremonial mounds they left behind have been attracting visitors ever since. William T. Sherman visited the Etowah Mounds in 1844. Of course, lots of people were coming here about that time, and they built fancy houses everywhere. Take for example Godfrey Barnsley. He bought up 10,000 or so acres, built a fabulous manor and created exotic gardens for his wife, Julia. The estate is known today as Barnsley Gardens. People come from everywhere to tour the gardens, the museum, the ruins of the mansion, and soak up the mystique of the place.
In 1864, about the time Barnsley and his neighbors were settled in, "General" Sherman came back - with about 100,000 of his friends. We just weren't prepared for the crowd, so they stayed in some of those fancy houses and just about anywhere else they wanted. Talk about a mess! Folks still come to see the evidence of that little social encounter.
Well, at least Sherman left our mountains alone. And one of the best places to kick back and enjoy them is at
Red Top Mountain State Park & Lodge. You can
sleep late, eat well, watch the wildlife, and enjoy all kinds of water sports on 12,000 acre Lake Allatoona.
Why did settlers come in the first place? Prehistoric people came because of the rich mineral
resources. So, it's only appropriate that we would have the finest mineral museum in the Southeast. The William Weinman Mineral Museum showcases geological miracles from Bartow County and all around the world!
There's so much to see and do in Cartersville and Bartow County that we can't cover it all right now. So, call or write, and we'll send you fast and free information on everything we've talked about and much more.

Pickett's Mill State Historic Site in Dallas, where the south scored a dramatic victory during the Atlanta Campaign, is one of the best preserved Civil War battlefields in the nation. A Living History Program is presented here every first and third weekend of the month.
An evocative ruin at Sweetwater Creek State Conservation Park in Lithia Springs served as a textile mill during the Civil War.
After the war, Lithia Springs gained fame as a health spa whose lithium-fortified mineral waters had curative properties. The bottling company operating there today invites visitors to tour their Family Doctor Museum and Medicinal Garden.
The Piedmont locale around Lithia Springs is home to a number of communities with rural roots and character. Carrollton's McIntosh Reserve, part of the Chieftains Trail, is proof of the area's Creek Indian heritage. Nearby, John Tanner State

Park boasts the largest swimming beach in the Georgia State Park system. Camping and fishing are welcome at both places.
Villa Rica, the city of gold, is the site where gold was discovered. The annual Gold Rush Days is a celebration of this little known fact!
The West Georgia Museum in Tallapoosa, an outstanding small town museum, depicts the lifestyle of its citizenry from the late 1800s to the early 1900s.
Polk County's Self-Guided Driving Tour brochure, available from the Chamber of Commerce in Rockmart and Cedartown, shows an assortment of architectural styles in the homes, churches, and commercial buildings it describes. Antebellum, Victorian, and turn-of-the-century structures line the streets of both towns, while prime farmland and a beautiful section of Cedar Valley are the views from Cave Spring Road north of Rockmart.
Cave Spring has its own historic ambiance. Ninety of its stately homes are listed on the NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES. Older still are the limestone cave and mineral spring for which the town was named. The cave is a popular refresher in summer, maintaining a temperature of 56 degrees.
Two of Northwest Georgia's finest antebellum estates are reason enough for visiting this region. Barnsley Gardens in Adairsville, was constructed in 1840 by Godfrey Barnsley for his beloved wife, Julia. Woodlands, the grand manor house (now a ruin), was occupied one night by a Union general during the Civil War. The Confederate soldier who tried to warn the owners that the Yankees were coming was killed on his way there and is buried on the grounds.
The surrounding 30 acres of English style gardens have been completely restored. In the spring thousands of daffodils perfume the air for weeks, along with roses by the hundreds, and exotic rhododendrons. There are

boxwood, border displays of perennials and annuals that bloom all summer and fall, a redwood arbor, fernery, and water and bog gardens. A museum in the former manor house kitchen focuses on the history of the Barnsley family and the restoration.
Oak Hill in Rome was built on an
even larger scale, and its story is one of the enduring legends of the Northwest Georgia Mountains. It was the ancestral home of Martha Berry (1866-1942), who saw a need and dedicated her life to educating mountain children whose families had been illiterate for generations. She began with simple Bible studies and ended with the establishment of Berry Academy and Berty College, using her land and her inheritance as seed endowments and convincing some of the world's great philanthropists to provide additional support.
The Martha Berry Museum and Art Gallery adjacent to the 26,000 acre Berry campus tells the story of this remarkable woman. Oak Hill, a classic white-columned mansion built in 1847, is graced by manicured lawns, formal gardens, and nature trails.
The college sits on the nation's largest (and some say most beautiful) campus. It has an array of interesting landmarks, including the Gothic style Ford Quadrangle, one of the world's largest overshot waterwheels, and the 1850 Possum Trot cabin where Miss Berry gave her first lessons.
A drive north of Rome on U.S. 27 leads through Summerville, where the Paradise Gardens folk art project of
Rev. Howard Finster must be seen to
be believed.
From Summerville it's a short ride to the Georgia segment of Lookout Mountain Parkway (GA. 157). This scenic route skirts Cloudland Canyon State Park in Rising Fawn, which straddles a deep gorge on the west side of Lookout Mountain. The park is prized for its year-round beauty, and hikers know that a trek down the trails to the canyon floor is a walk through millions of years of geological history.

The cop of Lookout Mountain was the Civil War setting for "The Battle Above the Clouds," the final dash in the struggle for control at C h ickama uga-Chattanooga .
Hang gliders launch and spectators watch from the top of Lookout Mountain. At Lookout Mountain Flight Park and Training Center seasoned pilots fly in tandem with wanna-be gliders (no experience necessary) .
Rock City Gardens at the Lookout Mountain summit combines geology, history, and some man-made fantasy for one big amusement high. Its panoramic views, amazing rock formations, and 400 varieties of wildflowers and shrubs are nature's handiwork at its best. The flagstone path through the gardens is full of reminders of Rock Ciry's Indian heritage. It was here that warring Creeks sought refuge in rock pockets and crevices. Whimsical Fairyland Caverns and Mother Goose Village charm both kids and adults with visual interpretations of their favorite fairy tales.
More family fun waits at Lake Winnepesaukah in Catoosa County. This 110-acre summer amusement park has 32 action rides, skill games, picnic groves, and Superstar Concerts on Sundays and holidays.

With its six state parks, five major lakes, myriad of rivers and streams, the Cohutta Wilderness and Chattahoochee National Forest, the NORTHWEST GEORGIA MOUNTAINS is a mecca for outdoor enthusiasts.

Whitewater rafters, canoeists, and kayakers find their element in Blue Ridge, Ellijay, and McCaysville on the Cartecay, Toccoa, and Cossawattee Rivers.
For the upscale hiker a new service is available from Hawksbell Farm Llamas in Dalton - picnic hikes through the Chattahoochee National Forest without having co backpack. Lunch (and gear) is on the llamas!
Camping is plentiful, especially around the lakes and state parks. Cloudland Canyon, Fort Mountain, and Red Top Mountain State Parks also have air-conditioned cottages, and there's a new 33-room lodge and conference center at Red Top Mountain State Park in Cartersville.
The cool mountain streams that criss-cross the region yield one of the upcountry's favorite dishes, fresh rainbow trout. Whether it's cooked over a campfire or prepared co perfection at the Woodbridge Inn in Jasper, it's certain co be memorable. Memories are made at the breakfast table, coo, especially in Chatsworth at the Cohutta Lodge. Both restaurants offer stunning mountainscape views.
Arts, crafts, and antiques are part of the fare at Forge Mill Crossing in Morganton, an excellent choice for lunch. Everything's homemade here, and likely co include local ingredients, such as fruit from neighboring Ellijay, Georgia's Apple Capital.

The agricultural bounty in the NORTHWEST GEORGIA MOUNTAINS often spills into shopping bags as souvenirs. Apple products from Gilmer County's overflowing orchards can be found along the roadside in the fall, just when autumn colors are at their peak. The Georgia Wmery's Taste Center and Outlet Store at I-75/Exit 14 1 offers samples that include Georgia Peach Wine and Muscadine Champagne.
Antiques, handicrafts, and other shopper delights can be found throughout the region, with Rome and Dalton having the largest selection of big city scores. Dalcon is the Carpet Capital of the World, the place where tufted bedspread piecework turned into a multimillion dollar industry. It's not unusual to see visitors arriving in trucks to carry home their purchases from the dozens of carpet outlets here. These should not be confused with Dalton Factory Stores at I-75/ Exit 136, which is a complex of manufacturers outlets selling clothing, housewares, coys, etc.
"Good value for money spent" is the message in the NORTHWEST GEORGIA MOUNTAINS. Its dramatic history and natural beauty are inexpensive to behold, and the wide variety of restaurants and lodging are easy on the pocket, coo. In this land of resounding echoes, the loudest of all may be the one that says, "You can afford co stay here awhile."

1994 Georgia On My Mind

The Thomas County Historical Museum portrays the city's history and lifestyle from Indian times co the Hotel Era and beyond. Two of its most fascinating exhibits are an 1893 bowling alley and a display of fashionable pany gowns from the 1820-1940 period.
Historic Tours departing the chamber of commerce include the downtown Main Street Project, outlying plantations, and several of the city's heritage homes. The Lapham-Patterson House, c. 1885, is an outstanding example of Victorian architecture listed on the National Register Of Historic Places. The Classical Revival-sryle Hardy Bryan House, c. 1833, is Thomasville's oldest two-story dwelling. For a self-guided driving tour, the welcome center on Broad Sc. offers a brochure pinpointing 36 sites.
Sixty miles from Thomasville, at Georgia's southwest corner, the U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers' Lake Seminole provides 37,500 acres of
excellent freshwater fishing. Located at the "Y" intersection of the Chattahoochee and Flint Rivers, Lake Seminole is considered one of the best bass fishing lakes in the nation and is renowned for its Junker largemouth, hybrid, striped, and white bass. Large populations of catfish, crappie and bream are also there for the caking.
Deep channels from the lake extend 47 miles up the Flint and Chattahoochee, producing hundreds of miles of shoreline with more than cwenry access points for boating, camping, water skiing, fishing, swimming, and picnicking. Seminole State Park and Kelley's Marina on the north shore of the lake 18 miles south of Donalsonville, feature all of the above plus a swimming beach and fully-equipped rental cottages. Jack Wingate' s Bass Island Campground and Lunker Lodge on the east side of the lake south of Bainbridge, is famous for its unpretentious

Plantation ACE

atmosphere and restaurant that's always ready to cook a day's catch.
The pine-covered hills and hardwood forests of Lake Seminole's river valleys are a hunter's dream. Lake Seminole Wildlife Management Area near Seminole State Park, is one of Georgia's largest game reserves and a favored choice for duck deer, dove, rabbit, quail, and turkey hunting.
In Bainbridge, once an Indian trading post, the Flint River flows through the
center of town. The 500-acre Earl May Boat Basin Park is ideal for
boating and fishing and has a freshwater beach and riverside
camping. Willis Park, in the
downtown historic district, is the site of Riverside Artsfest the first week in May. Bainbridge is also known for its stately Victorian and Neoclassical homes. A self-guided driving tour brochure marking 50 such points of interest is available from the chamber of commerce in the McKensieReynolds House at the boat basin.
Along the eastern side of the Chattahoochee River, there are traces of the region's Indian and frontier history. Kolomoki Mounds State
Park in Blakely contains prime
recreational facilities as well as an important archeological discovery designated as a National Historic Landmark.
The park's seven Indian mounds were built by the Kolomoki people, inhabitants of the area in the 12th and 13th centuries. Their settlement was an important population center of the time, and among their mounds is Georgia's oldest great temple mound. The interior of a small burial mound can be seen intact, just as the excavating archaeologists left it, inside the Kolomoki Mounds Museum. Other exhibits depict Indian culture and lifestyle in this vicinity from 5000 B.C. to the end of the Kolomoki period.
Farther north, Fort Gaines is one of Georgia's oldest cities. Its original fort was manned three times for military purposes: as a frontier fort in 1814, to guard against an Indian uprising in 1836, and during the Civil War in

1863. Fort Gaines was once a bustling steamboat town, but changed into a tranquil place when super-highways drew heavy traffic elsewhere.
On a high bluff overlooking the Chattahoochee, visitors can get a marvelous view of the river and a glimpse into Fort Gaines' past lives. There's a Frontier Village here, with log cabins and a 1/3-size replica of the old fort, as well as a statue carved to memorialize the Creek Indians and a Confederate cannon left from the war.
The 48,000-acre Lake Walter F. George, a few miles north of Fort Gaines, is the result of another Corps of Engineers dam on the Chattahoochee and a boon to the area's recreational resources. Its 640-mile shoreline is the setting for numerous outdoor and water-related activities, plus a state-owned lakeside resort. George T. Bagby State Park features a 30-room Lodge and Conference Center, restaurant, camping and rental cottages, full-service marina, beach, tennis courts, and nature trails. Rental cassette tapes available at the lodge narrate tours of historic sites around the lake and Fort Gaines.
In the middle of PLANTATION TRACE, small towns keep busy all year with special events celebrating their agricultural and rural Southern lifestyle.
The snake population gets thinned the last Saturday in January during the annual Rattlesnake Roundup in Whigham. Educational seminars on snake handling and first aid top this festival's agenda. In March the citizens of Cuthbert host a professional turkey calling contest and sportsman's expo at their Turkey Callin'. Cuthbert was a big lumber town in the early 1800s and has a wealth of Greek Revival and Victorian homes to see on a driving tour. The same is true of Dawson, 21 miles east, where visitors can step inside several such private residences during the Dawson Tour of Homes in May.
The third weekend in April is the date for Colquitt's Mayhaw Festival, honoring the industry started here in

In November, Baconton hoses the annual Pecan Harvest Festival, with food, fun, and entertainment. Ochlocknee's Old South Days, the second Saturday in November, pays tribute co all aspects of Southern heritage.
Albany, the largest city in Plantation Trace, is known for its wide selection of lodging and convention facilities , as well as its "Chehaw" connection. Chehaw Park, a 700-acre natural setting for visitors who like to picnic, play, and camp, encompasses Chehaw Wild Animal Park, a zoo where creatures like black bears, bobcats, bison and more roam free in their native habitats. The Chehaw National Indian Festival the third

weekend in May, is a major Indian culcural event with traditional dancers, skills demonstrations, crafts and storytelling.
Downtown, the Thronateeska Heritage Foundation focuses on the combined cultures and natural history of southwest Georgia. Two of the mainstays at this National Register Of Historic Sites property are the Wetherbee Planetarium and the Train Museum. Equally good is the Albany Museum of Art, which houses the Southeast's largest collection of African arc objects.
One of the most charming attractions in Albany is Radium Springs, a picturesque summer swimming spot whose waters always stay 68 degrees. A sandy beach borders the shallow edge of the springs, and Southern pine, moss-draped live oak, and giant cypress trees shade its terraced rim. A 1920s club casino, now a restaurant, overlooks the springs.

161

Despite great family wealth, the Little White House is the only home Roosevelt ever owned, and it was his most beloved. Because many of the policies and ideas for his long administration were formulated here, the Little White House is a site of enduring historical importance. le remains exactly as it was on April 12, 1945, the day he died there. A museum containing personal effects and mementoes of his career stands on a hill next co the coccage, beside a garden walk decked with scones and
flags from each of che fifty scares.

Finding showbiz glitz in the same territory as distinguised American statesmen may seem unlikely, but in this region it's certain. The pine-scented air and unaffected lifestyle that had lasting appeal for two Presidents reaches out to travelers everywhere to come and stay awhile. There's plenty to amuse - luxury resorts, natural wonders, big parks and recreational lakes, outdoor sports, delicious foods, festival fun - and always the history. There's no escaping an encounter with the momentous past in Georgia's Presidential Pathways.

IT'S GOOD TO BE HOME.
When a fast-growing, quality-minded printing company li.ke Quad/Graphics starts to examine new locations, questions spring up like popcorn . And in 1989 at Quad/Graphics, no question was as important as: "What about Thomaston?"
We talked about Thomaston. We visited. We stayed. More than four years later, we're still coming home to Thomaston.
