Atlanta Afetro

Whil e she 11as alive, Mitchell insisted th at Tara was not based on am rea l stru cture. No neth eless , fan s continu e to look fo r it, a pl ace that represents th e Atlanta of th eir im agin ati on. Instead of a fi ctional plantati on house th e1 find genuin e antebellum homes, histori c attrac ti ons, and compelling mu se ums th at ca pture both th e rom ance and th e rea lity of chm go ne b,.
And that's just one 1e rsion of th e cih. Atl anta has man y fa ces. As loca l obse ners ca n attest,

Unl ike th e oth er ma jor citi es in Geo rgia, Atlanta 11as n't found ed on a na1iga bl e ri1-er or a coastal port. It 11as almost an accid ental cih, growing up around a stake hamm ered into th e ground in l 837 that marked th e terminus of th e Wes tern and Atlanti c Railroad. Th at stake -the "ze ro mil e post" - ca n still be see n nea r Underground Atl anta, a popular entertainm ent co mplex of ni ghtclubs, restaurants, and shops th at has been deYeloped in th e subterran ea n passage-

Atlanta's id entih is co ntim1alh bein g conjured up and reimagin ed 61 both 1isitors and res idents. In fact, her 1cn srn1bol is th e ph oenix, th e lege ndan bird that ri ses resplend ent from th e ashes .
Th e mam fa ces of th e cih include civil rights
Atlanta, 11ith its legac1of;\ lartin I,uth er King Jr. and
the South ern Christian Leadership Conference. Th ere's th e urban and urban e /\ tlanta of thriving nightlife and 1rn rld-class cui sin e. Th ercs C i1il War Atl anta, ll'ith hi stori cal markers tracking th e movement of troops during th e fin al battl e th at end ed 11ith th e burning of th e citY. Th ere's cin emati c and literan Atl anta, as portraYed in nove ls by Ann e Rivers Sidd ons and Tom Wolfe. Look deeper and rn u'II find an altern ati1e Atl anta of funky "intmrn " neighborh oods and und erground music scenes. Or 1o u mm di scover monum ents to Olympi c Atlanta, 11"11 ich took th e 11orld stage during th e 1996 Games . /\11CI , of course, all is enveloped b1 th e booming ex urbs of th e Greater Atl anta ;\iletropolitan area!

11ays ben eath l 9th-ce ntu 1Y railroad bridges . \,Vithin 25 1ea rs of its foundin g, Atl anta had
become so important to transportati on and manufa cturing that it ll'as a major target for th e Union 's G eneral vVilliam Sh erm an, ll'h o captured and burn ed th e cih in 186-+, th en soon departed on hi s infamous 1\ilarch to th e Sea.
On e uniqu e attra ction related to th e Battle of Atl anta is the C1c lorama , in G rant Park near Zoo Atlanta.

and musical performances.

Stone Mountain Park Just east of Atlanta is the world's largest mass of exposed granite, offering a huge variety of activities, eluding an outdoor evening laser show.
immy Carter Library &Museum Photos and documents from Carter's
term as president are co-located within the Carter Center, which works
for peace and human rights in partnership with Emory University.

Marietta Street, encouraged Southern ers to welcome investm en t from outside the region. As a result, Atlanta quickly found itself th e cap ital of the modern South.
That sa me busin ess savvy helped th e city continu e to prosper during th e civil righ ts era. It was, as loca l politi cians liked to say, "the city too busy to hate." for decades, th e "Sweet Auburn " distri ct, along Auburn Aven ue just east of downtown 's Five Points, had been the scene of a thriving bl ack middl e clas . Schools such as Spelman College (th e oldest in the country for African American women ) and Morehouse Coll ege had produced genera tions of en trepreneurs and leaders. These affluent black communities, working in conjuncti on with th e city's business and politi ca l leaders, helped Atlan ta weather desegrega tion and become th e first major outhern city to elect a bl ack mayor, in 1973.
Today Auburn Avenue is still a popular destinati on for visitors interested in the civil rights era and the story of Martin Luth er King Jr. The E beneze r Bapti st C hurch, where Dr. Kin g preached his first serm on is located on Auburn

Avenue . So, too, is th e MLK Jr. Center for Nonviolent Social Change, where King's body rests in a white marbl e crypt, and the MLK Jr. I ational Historic Site, where park rangers give tours of King's birth house and describe his childhood on "Sweet Auburn ."
Downtown Atlanta i also hom e to two other interna ti onall y known icon s: Coca-Cola and CNN, whi c h was found ed by th e city' flambo ya nt Ted Turn er. At the World of CocaCola, visitors ca n sa mpl e doze ns of Coke produ cts from aro und th e wo rld . At C l Center, yo u ca n tou r th e studios and be pa rt of a 1ive aud ienc e.
Across th e street from CNN Center is Centenn ial Olympic Park, a bustling ga thering pl ace in th e heart of th e city that is a legacy of th e I996 Olympic Games. In th e summ ertime ch ildren (and a few fun-loving adults) cavort among th e refreshing jets of water from an Olympic-ring fountain.
Anoth er Olym pi c legacy is Turner Field, the former track-an d-fi eld stadium that is now th e home of th e Atl anta Braves baseball tea m.

Baseball brought big-l eague action to Atl anta in 1966, but Atlanta is now hom e to profess ional teams in every major sport, from Falcons foo tball to Hawks basketball -with the most rece nt additions of Thrashers ice hockev and T he Bea t women 's soccer. But the sport with th e deepest Southern roots of all may be NASCAR. Fans ca n sti ll watch th e races at Atlanta's Motor Speedway in Hampton .
Away from th e bustle of downtmrn , th ere's a qui eter, more tranqui l Atlanta. Th is character is captured nicely in one of th e city's unoffi cial slogans: "In a fores t, grows a city." Verdant and lush with foli age, Atlanta's neighborh oods prid e th emselves on th e ca nopy th at shades ya rds, streets, and sidewalks. T he Virgin ia-Highl and neighborh ood, a coupl e of mil es east of downtown, is a vibrant community of shops, restaurants, and nightclubs, but just off th e main drag, ya rds explode \\ith blooming azaleas in th e spring.
In man Park, once Atlan ta's first "suburb" but now a popu lar "intown" neighborh ood, also features tree-li ned streets and ni ce ly restored Qu een Anne and Vi ctorian mansions, along \\ith small er

bungalmYs. The area was one of th e first city neighborhoods to be reclaimed, and it butts up aga inst th e grittv and Aambovant scene at Little Fi\e Points, where the pierced and th e tattooed go to see and be see n.
Atlanta Metro has grown well beyond its city limits and now in clud es at least nin e counti es. T hough many surro unding towns have become part of th e metro area, they retain th eir own distin ct cha rac ters and hi stori es. Du e north of Atlanta in Ros\\"ell , Bu ll oc h Hall , built in ]839, \\as th e home of Theodore Roosevelt's mother, Mitti e Bull oc h. Th e heart of th e town is still a quaint co mm ercial di stric t fill ed with specialty shops and sidewa lk ca fes. In nea rby Marie tta, th e dmrntmrn squa re is bu ilt around a pl easa nt outdoo r park , with pl entv of benches, fountain , and places for children to play. Th e area is known for its mam antiqu es dea lers and its awa rd-winning th ea ter. A li ttl e far th er to th e north eas t, Alph aretta's hi stori c down town is a prim e destination fo r strolling shoppers, and th e surrounding countrysid e is kn own for popu lar equ estri an acti\iti es and upsca le golf courses.

Recipe outbern ried Chicken

Although there must be hundreds of recipes for perfect Southern fried chicken across our state, you can 't go wrong with this simple classic.

Pour oil into deep skillet and heat to 350 F. Reg lllate heat so chicken fri es at 325 F. (i f you have an electric skillet, otherwise, take this hint fro m the pioneer cooks: To test oil to see ifit is hot enough to fry, sprinkle a small pinch of flour in oil. If oil does not sizzle, let it heat longer.)
Fry a few pieces at a time in hot oil until tender- 12 to 15 minutes. Tum once. Drain well. Serve hot orchilled. Makes 8 servings.

"The Dump," as Mitchell ca ll ed it, was restored only after orga nizers overcame obstacl es th at would have worn down even th e willful Scarl ett. For yea rs the site had been marked fo r demolition, and it was torched twice by arsonists, the second tim e on th e eve of the Olympics. T he museum , now well pro tec ted by a wrought-i ron fence, offers tours and hosts regul ar visits and readings by authors.
From th e King Center to the M itchell House, Atlanta continu es to welcome, embrace, and celebrate the di versity that makes Georgia one of th e mos t popular destin ati ons fo r travelers from aro und th e country and the worl d.

Although the Georgia Coast shetches for little more than l 00 miles between the Savannah and St. Mary's Rivers, it contains a string of barrier islands unsurpassed in their pristine beauty. Between those islands a11<l the mainland lies about one third of the East Coast's remaining salt marsh. Because of its extraordinarily high tides, which are caused by the state's angled coastline and unique underwater geology, the coast provides a rich wildlife habitat, with many of the islands still protected from development by state and federal government regulations.
Thus the Georgia Coast offers visitors the best of both worlds. 1 alure lovers can wander deserted stretches of sand where the only other inhabitants are loggerhead turtles and scampering shorebirds. Vacationers can savor the ocean breezes from a lounge chair or a golf cart at some of the nation's top beachfront resorts.
This coast is also the home of Georgia's oldest and most historic cities. The queen among them

each graced by monuments, plaques, and statues commemorating a farnous perso11age or incident.
Touring Savannah's squares is a must. Along the way look for such places as the 1817 OwensThomas House and the 1818 Oliver Stmges Tlouse, both on Abercorn Street, Christ Episcopal Church on Johnson Square, ;mcl the Telfa ir Museum of Art on Barnard Street. If you arc one who's been seduced by the Savannah represented in the best-selling book and movie Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, you'll want to see the Mercer House on Monterey Square, which teatures prominenlly in the plot. Maps and tours of the downtown area are widely available. Stroll by yourself, ride a tour bus, or view the scenery from a horse-drawn carriage.
For many decades, Savannah was a well-kept secret. Around the 1950s, residents began saving local architectural treasures, and today Savannah is a model of successful historic preservation. Lately, the Savannah College of Art and Design

is Savannah, the state's first settlement. In 1733, James Edward Oglethorpe and more than 100 British settlers made their way up the Savannah River and settled on a bluff where, as he noted in a report back to England, the river was wide, the water was fresh, "and from the quay of the town you can see its whole course to the sea." The city was built on a grid around a series of parklike squares. Today, the 21 surviving squares still define the heart of downtown Savannah, with

Wilmington River. Tt was considered one of the country's most beautiful cemeteries long before it was made famous by its photograph on the cover
of Midnight in the Garden ofGood and Evil.
South of Savannah on Skidaway Road is Wormsloe, one of the first plantations establ ished in Georgia, dedicated to the cultivation of silk. loday visitors can !:our picturesque ruins and a museum that provides an introd11ction to the agricultural practices as well as the hopes of the early colonists in this part of the country. A little farther south, near Midway, is Seabrook Village, a livinghistory rnuse11111 dedicated to celebrating the African Americ,111 heritage of the coastal area. Seabrook was originally founded as a resnlt of General Williarn Sherman's F ield Order 15, which granted freed slaves "40-acrcs and a mule."

Fort Pulaski, Tybee, an d other locations around Savannah are the beginning of the state's newest self-guided tour, the Colonial Coast Birding Trail. This is a series of 18 sites along the

coast where you can spot more than 300 species of birds. Habitats along the Birding Trail include old rice fields, forests, and sa lt marshes. Many of the coastal historic sites are also part of the trail. The birds you can see vary with the time ofyear, so the Birding Trail is an experience you can enjoy aga in and again .
Another of Georgia's oldest cilies is Darien, founded only a few years after s~wmnah by Scottish Highlanders who helped Oglethorpe protect the Engl ish colonies from Spanish settlers to the south. Once an important port for shipping lumber and naval stores, Darien is now a relatively undiscovered treasure of coastal living. Visitors along the waterfront can witness blazing sunsets across the marsh and the sl01v trudge of shrimp boats returning to dock, laden with the day's catch. Nearby is the first English fort built in Georgia, Fort King George, originally constructed in 1721. The now reconstructed fort plays host to battle reenactments and clen1onsh"ations of 18thcentury life.

of the 25 best in the nation. The few
were chosen from nearly 5,000 projects coast to coast. You'll see why.
The Trail will take you to The Midway National Historic District, Dorchester Academy National Historic Place, Fort Stewart Museum, LeConte Woodmanston N ational Historic Place, Seabrook Village, Cay Creek \iVetlands Interpretive Center and Fort Morris State Historic Site.

Once the world's second-largest inland cotton market, Augusta was a b11slling center of trade throughout the colonial, antebellum, and reconstmction periods. A well-known anecdote has it that at the end of the 19th century a person COL tld walk for miles atop the stacked-up cotton baks waiting for shipment to New England and Europe.
Augusta's canal is another historic site lhal. is being redeveloped. A feat of 19th-century engineering, the canal harnessed the power of the Savannah River to enable Augusta to become a manufacturing powerhouse before !he Civil War. Today, it's one of only 18 designated National Heritage Areas and is bei ng preserved as a natural area popular with bikers, hikers, and canoeisls.

Shortly after the Blue Willow Inn in Social Circle opened in 1992, columnist Lewis Grizzard came for dinner. On the buffet that evening were fried green tomatoes. At that time, owners Louis and Billie Van Dyke served the dish only once every week to ten days. Grizzard went on to write a column about the restaurant, its food, and particularly the fried green tomatoes he had enjoyed. TheVan Dykes claimthat that newspaper column, which appeared in about 280 newspapers nationwide, turned their struggling, new establishment into a successful restaurant in just one weekend. The column is reprinted in full at the beginning of their Blue Willow Inn Cookbook, and the Van Dykes now serve fried green tomatoes at every meal.

To prepare eight servings offried green tomatoes, wash. 3 green tomatoes and cut th.em into slices approximately 1/4-inch. thick. Then, in a mixing howl, combine 1 112 cups ofbuttermi/11 with 2 eggs, adding 1/2 teaspoon ofsalt and I/2 teasf;oon ofpepper.

Such encounters with the mystery and magic of the mo1mtains animated the poetry of one of North Georgia's favorite sons, Byron TTerberl Reece, the subject of Georgia's official state drama, The Reach of Song. Performed each summer from June to August in the town of Young Harris, the play explores the legacy of Georgia's Appalachian heritage by telling Reece's life sl-ory.
For Reece, as for others in the region, the soil was essential to his soul, a11d the North Georgia mountains were the source of his identity:
If Goel should need me, He /mows where to look. I'll be in the fields with the mmmtains tall
behind me. Plowing the rows that dip their feet in the
brook; From May to June that is where He'll find me.

Today, I.he new Jane H11rl Yarn Interpretive Center is welcoming visitors back to Tallulah Gorge. Its state-of-the-art exhibits of natural science and local history ,1re a fun contrast lo the equally entertaining old-fash ioned souvenir shops along the nearby "scenic loop" of Old Highway 441 . At Tallulah Point Overlook, for example, you can pull a cold soda out of the cooler, take in a stunning view of the gorge, and see photos of Ka rl Wallenda crossing it via lighbope in 1970. 'vVho kuows-you 111ight be lucky enough to be on hand when the waterfalls roar to life again during one of the power company's periodic white-water releases.

Every th1y, brass bands would welcome well-heeled visitors arriving at the train depot, and horse-drawn carriages would whisk them off to view the famous two-mile, I,000-footdeep chasm.

HISTORIC Hiett COUNTRYfi'or ccnturies before contact with Europeans, unknown Native peoples drew sustenance and inspiration from the rich valleys of North Georgia. And for the first two hundred years after the arrival ofAmerican settlers. the Cherokees ruled this cotmlryside. 1oday, their ancient homelands in the northwest corner of the state are parl of Georgia's Historic High Country.
Visitors to this history-rich region can tour a string of significant Native American sites as part of a 150-mile driving tour called the Chieftains Trail, a Georgia Heritage Trail designated in 1988 to mark the 150th anniversary of the removal of the Cherokees from the area- in a march known as the infamous "Trai l of 'l ears."
Both mystery and hisl-ory abound along the Chieftains'l'rnil. One of the most p11z,ding sites is at Fort iVlountai11 State Park in the Chattahoochee Nationa l forest. Running for almost 900 feet along the mountaintop is a rock wall nearl)' 12 feet l11ick. Some have speculated that it was constructed by Vikings, Spanish explorers, an ancieut vVelsh king, or even, as one Cherokee legend has it, by a lost race of savage albinos, a "moon-eyed'" people who lti<l from the sun. i\llany experts think it's most likely Lhal Indians made the wall for unknown ccrernoni,1I purposes long before the arrival of the Cherokees in the area.
Other must-see slops along the Chieftains Trail include the following: The Chieftains Museum

in Rome tells the story of controversial Cherokee leader Major Ridge. The Jol111 Ross House in Rossville was home to the last chief of the Cherokee Nation before their removal in 1838. The William Weinman Mineral .\l!useum in Cartersville contains a collection ofartifacts from the Archaic period. The MacIntosh Reserve near Carrollton is protected as the plantation home of William MacIntosh, a significanl leader of the lower Creeks. The F11nk Heritage Center at Reinhardt College in Cherokee County, which opened recently, has been named the official state museum of so11theastcrn Indian arl and history.
J\ fi nal attraction -and one of the most significant archaeological sites in the slate-is the Etowah Jndia11 Mounds. These earthen mounds, about five miles sou lhwest of Cartersville, were built by people of the Mississippian Culture sometime betwc<.:n 1250 and 1550 A.D. 'J'he largest of th<.: ceremonial structures is 63 fee l high and covers more than three acres.
Another Heritage Trail in Georgia's Histo1ic High Cou11try is the Blue and Crny Trail, which is a tour through one of the most storied battlefronts of the Civil War. I Iere, between Chattanoog11 and Allanla, 11 number of critical conAicts sealed the fate of the Confederacy. One ofthe most moving and tragic is the Chickamauga and Chattanooga ;'\ational Military Park at Fort Oglethorpe, near the 'Jennessee line. The battle at

Chickamauga Creek claims the dubious distinction of being the bloocliesl two-day battle of the war, with combined casualties numbering 34,000. The site became the country's first 11;1tional military park soon after the end of the war, and it remains one of the best-preserved C ivil War battlefields. Ci,il War sites can also be found in Ringgold, Dalton. Rome, Cartersville, and Kennesaw, near metro Atlanla, t1nd some feature occasional battle reenachncnts.
Another of orthwesl Ceorgia's important historic allractions is 13arnsle)1 Gardens, m Adairsville. T hese formal gardens surround the caslle-like rt1i11s of the home that Englishman Godfrey Barnsley lrn ilt for his bride in the 1840s. Today the property is owned by a Bavarian prince, who restored the gardc11s and recentl y opened an upscale resort and golf cl ub here.
But you don' t have to be a history buff to enjoy Georgia's Historic High Country. Hikers, bikers, even hang gliders and spelunkers are drawn to this section of the North Georgia mountains. New roads have opened the door to visitors, but state and federal regulations protect scenic areas like the Cohutta Wilderness. Situated on the AppaJachian flyway, the Cohutta provides a rare and valuable nesting habitat for warblers, tanagers, and thrushes.
Another popular northwestern dcstinalfon for nature lovers is Clo11dland Can)10n. Loe;1tc<l on

lhc side of Lookout Mountain, this stale park surrounds a deep gorge cut by Sitton Gulch Creek. 'vVith an elevation drop of more than 1,000 feet, it offers some of the most dramatic overlooks in the slate. Visitors can make foliage-season reservations at its popular cabins up to a year in advance.
And, not to be outdone hr the ;\'orlhcast Georgia mountains, the Ilistoric High Country offers its own share of curious allractions. You'll find a rare treat at Lake \Vinncpesaukah, 011c of the country's top ten traditional fa111ily amusement parks. Located just south of the GeorgiaTennessee line in Rossville, "Lake Winnie" has been a vacation destination since I92 5 and features classic carnival rides .like the T ill'-A-Wh irl, the Scrambler, a wooden roller coaster called Ilic Cannon Ball, and a 1916 ca rousel.
Nearby is Rock City Gardens, a 14-acrc park of unusual rock formations and Fairylnnd Caverns, an endearing series of backlit diorn111as depicting classic children's fables. T he advertisement ''Sec Rock City," which has appeared on hundreds of ham roofs and thousands of car bumpers and birdhouses across the South, is actually more familiar than the attraction itself.
You can see seven stales from Rock City, but, as the Cherokees kne\\, none of lhe ,icws is more enchanting than the mountains of lorth Georgia.

Southern Rivers

The region's tranquility has provided solid foundations for two U.S. presidents, and today's visit ors can follow in their footsteps. It was here, at Warm Springs, that President Franklin Delano Roosevelt sought relief from polio- and here that he built his treasured cottage, the Little White House. Further to the south, Plains is the beloved hometown of President Jimmy Carter, where he and his wife, Rosalynn, sometimes still teach Sunday school.
So, as you travel through the Southern Rivers region-named after the great Chattahoochee and Flint Rivers that have played such significant roles in the history and daily life of this area expect big things in small places. You'll see natural wonders like the salmon-colored gorges of Georgia's "Little Grand Canyon" and the tender orange blossom of the rare plumleafaz.alea, which grows only in this part of the state. You can go on an animal safari, take a simulated voyage into outer space, watch a blacksmith at his forge, or stand in a conservatory amid thousands of tropical butterflies. And almost any time of the year there are festivals, from Whigham's Rattlesnake Roundup to Colquitt's Mayhaw Festival -because in this agriculturally rich region, even the towns and

find the 2,500-acre Callaway Gardens, inspired by the native plumleaf azalea. The spectacular gardens, planted in former cotton fields, are one of the state's top attractions. The five-acre John A. Sibley Horticultural Center is an indoor/outdoor "greenhouse" filled with foreign and unusual plants. But even non-gardeners will be amazed at the Day ButtcrAy Center, the world's largest glassenclosed butterfly conservatory, where literally thousands of tropical butterflies swirl around visitors, sometimes alighting on their shoulders.
Callaway Gardens has also become a topranked resort, with an Orvis Ry-fishing school and plenty of championship golf. There arc paved bicycle paths and the longest man-made "beach" in the world. Upscale dining and accornrnoclations make th is a choice destination for locals and out-of-state tourists alike. And during the holiday season, Callaway's light display draws visitors from across the South.
Nearby is tl1e storied Little White House in Warm Springs, where F DR sought physical solace and respite from the pressures of his office. Visitors can tour the cottage, which remains exactly as it was when Roosevelt died here in 1945. The president also left his mark on the area

stunning hiking trails, and picnicking at FDR's favorite spot, Dowdcll's Knob.
South of Warm Springs and Pine Mountain is Columbus, tltc largest city in the Presidential Pathwars area. With its old Ironworks converted into a convention and trade center, the downtown area now hums with new restaurants and allrnctions. The centerpiece is the Riverwalk, a 12-milc lree-sh,1dccl, p,wcd pathway that stretches along the Chatta-hoochee River from downtown all the way lo tlie l;1tionc1l Infantry Museum at Fort Benning, a legendary military base where the likes of George Patton an<l Norman Schwarzkopf 011ce trninecl.
Columbus is home to the Coca-Cola Space Scic11cc Center, which has a planetarium, an observatory, and interactive exhibits, including a space Right simulator. Just opened in 2001, the Port Columbus I ational Civil War I aval \iluseum is the nation's only museum dedicated to Civil \Var naval history. Here ,isitors can explore a replica of the U.SS Hartford, the flagship of U.S. Admiral David Farragut, best k11ow11 for his rallying cry during an engagement with the Confederate navy: 'Damn the torpedoes! rull

speed ahead." The recovered hull of the Confederate ship C.S.S. fackson is on clisplay, as well as a number of other original artifacts and reproductions that let visitors experience what it was like to serve during this most innovative time in naval history. The naval 111useum joins the city's already impressive array of educational institutions, including the National Infantry Museum and !he Colu111bus Museum, which concentrates on American art and regional l1istory.
Restored historic sites include Springer Opera House, the state's official theater and Columbus's premier National llistoric La11clmark, which has hosted celebrities from Oscar Wilde to t--11a Rainey. '!'here's also the Rothschild-Pound House, a Victoria11-crn bed and breakfast. And, if you want to get in the middle of one of the region's longstanding cleb,1tes, you can \'isit the home and grave of Dr. Pemberton, the man who invented CocaCola. Did ltc concoct the formula in Columbus or at his pharmacy in Atlanta? The debate continues. Columbus has a secure claim on one cola classic, howc\'cr-Royal Crown-a Col11mbus beverage and lhe requisite companion for a classic Southern snack-RC Cola and a MoonPie.

Southeast of Columbus is the Andersonville National Historic Site, where the Civil War's most notorious prisoner-of-war camp was located. Here an estimated 13,000 Union prisoners died from starvation and illness. The site is now home to the National Prisoner of\Var Museum.
The town also marks the cornerstone of the 75mile Andersonville Trail, a driving loop that passes through quaint small towns, historic sites, and scenic countryside. One popular stop along the trail is Americus, where the grand Windsor Hotel is a reminder of the town's past as a popular resort. Americus also offers great antiquing, a wide array of dining options, and the Rylander Theater, a restored vaudeville venue presenting live performances, concerts, and films. The trail then passes through Plains, the hometown of former president Jimmy Carter. This Georgia politician rose from small-town obscurity to serve as the state's governor and then as U.S. president- vanquishing the doubters who mocked his quixotic presidential run by referring to him as "Jimmy Who?" Today, the old Plains High School has been converted into a museum. T he Jimmy Carter National Historic Site also includes Carter's old

campaign headquarters and his boyhood home, Camping at FDR StateParkin Pine Mountain. where visitors can contemplate the core values that helped shape th is Georgia leader and humanitarian- church, family, community, country.
In the town of Leslie, another stop on the trail, a restored cotton warehouse contains one of the world's largest and most complete collections of telephones, switchboards, and related gear in the Georgia Rural Telephone Museum.
Further west, near Lumpkin, is Providence Canyon. Sometimes called "Georgia's Little Grand Canyon," this geological spectacle is a breathtaking, multihued gorge. Lumpkin itself has a charming town square, with a variety of antique shops. Also in the vicinity is Westville, an intriguing living-history town "where it's always 1850."
Notable festivals in the Presidential Pathways area include Vienna's annual barbecue festival, the Big Pig Jig, and the watermelon festival Ill Cordele, Watermelon Capital of the World.
PLANTATfON ThACll Just south of Presidential Pathways, travelers enter Plantation Trace. Here on the Chattahoochee River stands Fort Gaines, one of the first forts in the area, established in

I814 to protect settlers during the Creek Wars. Nearby, George T. Bagby State Park offers boat rentals, lodging, and an 18-hole golf course overlooking a 48,000-acre lake. Also in this area is Kolomoki !\founds State Historic Park, another well-preserved set of Native American earthen mounds, these dating from the 13th century.
In Albany- the largest city in this area and the Pecan Capital of the World, thanks to more than 600,000 pecan trees- visitors can view world-class art collections, artifacts of the C ivil Rights Movement, and untamed wildlife. The Albany Museum of Art features permanent and traveling exhibits and houses one of the best collections of sub-Saharan art in the South. The Albany Civil Rights Movement tvluseum, housed in the restored i\.1t. Zion Church, commemorates the struggle for voting rights and desegregation. And Chehaw Wild Animal Park offers the whole farnily a closeup glimpse of native and exotic wildlife, as well as creekside trails and a new BMX bike track.
Jimmy Carter, a former peanut farmer, brought international fame to the humble legume, and today Georgia tops the country in peanut production-accounting for almost half of the national crop. So it's not surprising to fi nd testaments of appreciation in this agricultural region. In Blakely, a peanu t monument stands on the courthouse square. Tn Sylvester, thousands Aock to the annual Peanut Festival. And in Ashbu rn, a 40-foothigh icon, l ighted and visible from nearby

Interstate 75, has been declared Georgia's official peanut monument.
In Thomasville, almost at the Florida border, visitors can tour some of the grand estates and homes that give Plantation Trace its name and its aristocratic character. In the town's historic district, there's the Lapham-Patterson House, originally built as a winter retreat by a wealthy C hicago businessman. Outside the city, Melhana, "The Grand Plantation," is now a resort where peacocks strut among the oaks and magnolias. Guests enjoy fine dining, afternoon tea, and plenty of relaxation at the historic inn. Nearby is Pebble Hill Plantation, listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Here visitors can sample the elegance and excitement of an era dedicated to the running of the horses and the hounds.
Many other old plantations are dedicated to preserving the habitat that makes this part of the state a prime destination for quail hunting. Plantations such as Pretoria Station and Wynfield Plantation near Albany and CoveyRise or Rio Piedra near Camilla offer full-service hunting lodges in the fi nest Southern tradition.
Like Presidential Pathways, Plantation Trace is an agriculturally rich and diverse area, as is eviden t in its many annual festivals and local claims to fame: Hahira, "Horne of the Honey Bee," caps its festival with the crowning ofthe Honey Q ueen.
