HISTORY Founded in 1733 by British Gen eral James Ogleth orpe, Georgia origin ally was intend ed partl y as a buffer betwee n th e Spanish in Florida and Britai n 's oth er colon ies u p th e east coast and partly as a phi lanthrop ic effort to provid e opportu nity fo r peopl e wh o had been impoverish ed by econ om ic conditi ons in Britain. Ogleth orpe ch ose a site on a bluff up the Sava nn ah Ri ver and , with th e support of th e area Indians, began bu ilding. He drew up plans fo r a city to be nam ed Savan nah, and Geo rgia was born . Ea rl y fa rmers attempted to grow silk, ri ce, and indigo along th e coast, and today the rema ins of th eir pl antati ons ca n be found. Georgia was still spa rsely settl ed at th e ti me of th e Revolution,

but by th e beginning of the 1800s, the invention of the cotton gin insp ired one of the greatest booms in hi story. 1ewcome rs spread throughout the sta te, a nd Southern planters grew rich on this "wh ite gold ," but the system of slavery that supported the co tton economy soon led to the Civil War. By th e encl of that struggle , Georgia and most of the South had been ruin ed and we re fo rced into a long period of recovery that stre tched un til World War II.
By th e middle 1950s, Georgia had begun to thri ve aga in , thi s tim e as a home for indu stry. Ma n y groups had been estab li shed to work toward ending segregation, and afte r th e C ivi l Ri gh ts movement ended the Ji m Crow era, Geo rg ia's c iti es, especially the capital city of Atlanta, began to grow rapidl y. "The C ity Too Busy to Hate" became the de fac to cap ital of the South. Today it remains the economic hub of the region and is headquarters for numerous internationa l companies. \.Vh ile Atlanta is known as a metropolis , man y of Georgia 's oth er citi es and towns reta in th eir clown-home character ye t still manage to share in today's econom ic growth.

CLIMATE The climate of Georgia is mild , wi th a subtropical feel along the coast. In the summer, tem pe ratures tend to ri se into the 80s an d 90s during the day and fa ll to the low 70s a t night, except in the mountains , where it's usua lly a few degrees coole r. Sometimes the humidity along the coast makes it seem hotter, but that's also what helps account for that region 's lush fo liage, making the hea t more tolerable. Winter temperatures hover in the 40s and 50s during th e clay, dropping into the 30s at night, with occasional cold spells that dip below freezing. The mountains ca n usuall y count o n two or three clu stin gs of sn ow eac h season, but it ra rely sn ows below Atlanta.

GEOG RAP HY As th e larges t state east of th e M iss iss ippi , Georgia e ncompasses several geographi cal regions. The rugged mountains of the northwest a re linked to th e Cumberland range , and those in the northeast are part of the Blu e Rid ge , the beginning of the Appa lach ians th at run up the East Coast all th e way to Ma ine. In th e Piedmont region, whe re these mo unta in s slowly give way to rolling hill s, the rivers flo w over fl at shoa ls an d through hardwood forests of oak, sycamore , and a host of other species. Below what's call ed the fa ll line , th e mo unta in s en cl and middle Georg ia begins with a grea t belt of fe rtil e soil running across the state. Here, travelers ca n find themselves driving between seemingly end less fields of cotton or soybeans .

In recent years Atlanta's cultural offerings have exploded.

Other significant forces shaping the cultural scene include the Georgia Ball et in Marietta , the Atlanta Opera, the Georgia Shakespeare Festival, the Fox Theatre, the Atlanta International Museum of Art, and the Cen ter for Puppetry Arts.
Across town, on the Emory University campus, the Michael C. Carlos Museum houses more than 16,000 ancient artifacts from the Americas, Greek pottery, and Roman jewelry. Newly added to its Egyptian coll ection is a ma jor acqu isition of 3,000-year-old mummies. The picturesque Dru id Hills neighborhood around Emory is the location of the Fernbank Museum of Na tural History, where hot-ticket events such as Martinis and IMAX bring fo lks togeth er each Friday night to enjoy dinner and the power-packed sensory experience on the museum's five-story movie screen.

Though people frequently use "Atlanta" as an umbrella term to refer to an area encompassing man y counties, locals know that within that overarching name are communities and towns with their own dis ti nct virtues, qualities, and charms.
There is the City of Atlanta, but there are also Marietta, Roswell, Alpharetta, Norcross, Decatur, Faye tteville , Jonesboro , ewnan, McDonough, and the many other burgs and ham lets in between. These are all Atlanta Metro destinations easily and quickl y reached by interstate highway, bu t once there, visitors will find that the local avenues and downtowns, the courthouse squares and main streets, remind them that each individual locale retains the core of its origins, the essenc e of its identity.
To the east, Inman Park's restored V ictoria n h omes are a visual treat.

South ern history. Crossroads, one of the latest additions to the park, re-creates an 1870s commun ity complete with music, artisan demonstrations, and a 4-D theater. On summer evenings a laser light show is proj ec ted onto the mountain. A side-wheeler riverboat, a Civil \Va r mu seum , and a cable car to the summit are only a few of the attractions that make Georgia's Stone Mounta in a place that locals visit yea r-round .
Marietta, north of Atlanta, pushes outward from its centerpiece of Marietta Square and Glover Park. One of the newest attractions here is the Shaw-Tumblin Co ll ection Gone With the Wind Movie Museum, featuring 39 original costumes. Throughout the yea r, numerou s festi va ls a nd concerts attract people from around the metro area to enjoy the small-town ambience and the quaint shops. Marietta is also the location of Six Flags' White Water Atlanta, a major summertime destination that feature s the Cliffhanger, one of the tallest freefall water slides in th e world.
Gwinnett County is an area that has see n booming growth but still preserves important aspects of its hi story. The Elisha Winn House, near the town of Dacul a, dates to 18 12 ; the Gwinnett Historic Courthouse in Law re nceville elates to 1885; and the railroad depot in orcross, now a restored shopping area, ela tes to 1870. Many of the downtown areas in Gwinnett and other metro counti es have becom e destinations

for a ntique hunters and those looking for highquality original arts and crafts.
South of Atlanta is Jon esboro, a major draw for fans of Gone with the Wind. The Civil War saga prominently feature s Jonesboro and suggests that Tara, Scarlett O 'Hara 's home, was located in Clayton County. Mitchell refused to acknowledge that any parti c ul a r building was the inspira tion for Tara, but fascinated fans keep coming and looking anyway. Indeed , Stately O aks, an 1839 Greek Revival structure preserved by Historical Jonesboro-Clayton County, Inc. , is a fairl y close match . Also in Clayton County is the Warren House, an 1859 structure that was used as a hospital by both sid es during th e Civil War.
As you can see, Atlanta is a m e tropolitan area made up of man y charmingly individual sma ll towns a nd citi es, powerhou se companies , and tree-shaded stree ts. No matter which part of the city you may find yourself in, yo u'll encounter the intriguing diversity combined with welcoming hospitality that characterize thi s capital of th e South. Th e heart of the city's dynamic will always be one place, man y identities- it's both a pl ace of the past and a place of the future , a delight to all.

Formed when a ridge held back waters from the receding sea that once covered South Georgia, this nearly half million acres of wilderness and water today has become the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge . Rich with wildlife, the vast expanse of forest and wetlands is now one of the best-preserved fre shwa ter sa nctuaries in the country, and a major destination along Georgia's Coast. Boat tours and scenic boardwalks allow visitors to get up close to th e hundreds of animal species that populate th e swam p.
The Okefenokee is accessible through major entrances near Fargo, Folkston, and Waycross. From the sma ll town of Fargo, enter the Okefenokee through the Stephen C . Foster State Park. The

tracks there . On a typ ical da y, 60 trains will pass through the Folkston Tunnel, where a viewing platform allows train watchers to del ight in the spectacle. Visitors who come to stay can camp a t any of the area's cam psites, enjoy quaint bed-andbreakfasts, or check in at one of the many hote ls.
Waycross, the la rgest of the three towns, has an en trance to th e Okefenokee through the Okefenokee Swamp Park. The park offers educational exhibits, animal shows, and a regular boat trip through the refuge.
While in Waycross, vis itors can e njoy many options for dining, accomrnodations, and educational entertainment. Particularly tempting are hi storic sites, suc h as the Obediah Barber

crgoast

park, with a museum that describes the swamp's ecosystem, also offers cottages, canoes, cabins, and campsites for rent. Anglers will be de ligh ted with the river trails banked by heavy foliage that creates a peaceful backdrop for an easy afternoon of great fish ing .
In Folkston , visitors can see alligators, otter, and many species of birds on a guided boat ride through the refuge. An observation tower is also on-site and available for visitors to climb in order to fully take in th e vastness of the open prairie .
Folkston has also made a name for itself with railroad buffs because of the convergence of train

The Okefenokee is just one of the natural wonders that draw visitors to Georgia's shore . T he pride of this region is a series of barrier islands that extend the length of the coast, some developed with luxurious high-end resorts, others still unspoiled , offering campers a nd hikers opportunities to experience nature in its pristine state. These undeveloped islands are adorned wi th prickly pear and stately oaks hung with Spanish moss and surrounded by vast marshes where wildlife abounds.

Eas t of th e Okefenokee is th e coasta l tmrn of St. Marys. O11e interes tin g di1-ersion here is the St. Marys Submar in e Museum , loca ted near the river and the docks. St. Marys is also the ga tell'a1 to one of Georgia's most popular unde1eloped island s, C umberland. At the Cumberland Island National Seashore, 11ild horses gra ze along sa nd\' trail s, and armadillos skitter clown th e one dirt road th at run s the length of th e island. Access to th e island is limited, and campers some ti1n es reserve th eir spots a year in ach-ance. Dar- trippers will also need rese rvations to enjoy a fem ride and an afternoon on the beach.
Moving northward up the coas t, just abme Cumberland Island is Jekyll Island , once a popular retrea t for some of th e wealthiest families in th e country, such as the Rockefellers, Morgans. and Vanderbilts. Today, jeyk ll lslancl Club Hotel is one of the many popular accommod ation s th at clot the island. Horse-drawn carriages and a troll ey allow visi tors to enjoy tours of th e histori c di stri ct.
Next comes St. Simons Island , offering pl enty of golfing, dining, and shopping. St. Simons also features severa l hi storic sites, amo ng th e m th e loca tion of th e I742 Battle of Bloody Marsh, th e Fort Frederica National Monument, and th e St. Simons Island Lighthouse Museum. St. Simons

Today, that rich legacy is being protected and ce lebra ted b1 such gro ups as the Georgia Sea Island Singers. 1d10 perform in Gullah (sometimes referred to as Gcechec ), the lyrica l language of the islands th at combines English and \,\/est African elements.

En route to Bruns11ick, tra1elers are prese nted 11ith stunnin g vic1Ys of the gently waving marsh grasses that in spired Georgia poet Sidney Lanier to pen The Marshes ofGlynn . An d Brunswick stakes a claim to more than just natural beauty and historical sign ifican ce; it al so originated that classic Southern di sh Brunswick stew.
Up the coast from Brunswick, tra,elers come upon Darien , the second city to be se ttl ed in Georgia , after Savannah. This small town offers charming riverside dining and, soon, some new resort developments along the ril'e rs and marshes. Fort King George, built in 1721, is one of the oldest historical sites in th e state. In the countryside around Darien , earl y settlers built plantations for growing rice and indigo , and some remains from thi s con struction are still visibl e along the roads and rivers.
ear Darien , in Meridian , visitors will find the jumping-off point to ferr y across Doboy Sound to Sapelo Island, where the rolling lilt of Gullah can be heard in th e small community of Hog Hammock. Some local residents provide tours of the island , which today is mostly protected by the state and is sti ll home to descendants of the freed sla ves who once worked the island 's early plantations. The Sapelo Island Visitor Center, located in Meridian , on the mainl and , is a des tination all its own , 11ith interpre tive exhibits that explore the coastal ecosystem and hiking trails that

take curiousadventurers into th e surrounding forest and to the edge of the 1as t surrounding marsh.
Coastal Georgia 's sa lt marsh provides some of th e most dramatic views in the state. Agood way to witness this grand eur is to drive up U.S. Higlrnay 17. Once th e main route through this part of the sta te , High1rnr 17 takes th e trave ler into the heart of the country and offers up-close glimpses of quaint small town s, roadside attra ctions, and histori c sites.
Halfoay between Dari en and Savannah along U.S. High11ay 17, built along an old Indian trail , is the aptly named town of Midway. Here a hi storic cemetery shaded by huge live oaks and the Midway Congregationa l Church , built in 1792, reward visitors with a look at the past. Seabrook Village, a li ving-history mu seum nea r M id way, shows what life was like here for freed slave s and their children during th e late 1800s. In addition to hi stori ca l significance, thi s area offers ample opportunities for eco touri sm at Melon Bluff, a resort with 3,000 acres of wood lands and rivers.
A little north of Midway is Richmond Hill , a storied town on th e Ogeechee River that has become both a desired address and a popular destination. Richmond Hill's curious hi story began in 1924 when automobile pioneer Henry Ford ca me to the spot on th e map th e n known as Ways Station , built a pl antation , and changed the town 's na me . Ford was ac tivel y involved in the local development, helping to build churches,

Stephen C. Foster.

roads , and clinics, and today what was once a sleepy town along the side of the road is a thriving community.
Ford wasn 't the first person to significantly alter the landscape. Near Richmond Hill is Fort McAllister, home of the best-preserved earthwork fortification of the Confederacy and the site of intense fighting as Sherman made his March to the Sea.
Offshore along this stretch of Georgia is the northernmost barrier island, Tybee, an increasingly popular beach town frequented by visitors from around the state. Restaurant choices range from laid-back burger joints and ice cream stands that are perfect complements to a summer day at the beach to haute cuisine that's ideal for evening dining and conversation. In summer, the beach is wide and the sun is hot. In the off-season , the pace slows considerably, but the weather is still good enough to entice visitors into taking long walks along the surf. On Cockspur Island , along the causeway leading to Tybee, is Fort Pulaski National Monument, one of the largest and last brick fortifications built before the Civil War. Uniformed tour guides tell stories of the fort's final days and detail the lives of soldiers in the 1860s.
Crowning the drive up the coast is Savannah, Georgia's most treasured jewel and the state's original British settlement. Savannah's reputation has spread worldwide in recent years, thanks to

the extensive restoration of the hi storic district and the popularity of the book and movie Midnight in the Garden ofGood and Evil. What Gone With the Wind did for Atlanta , "The Book" (as it's frequentl y referred to ) has done for Savannah , creating an image _and a reputation that continue to attract visitors from around the world.
In Savannah, Greek Revival and Regency period homes that had fallen into decline and were threatened by the wrecking ball have been saved. Many, like the Davenport House and the Owens-Thomas House-two of the first to be protected-are open for tours. In the historic district, more than 800 buildings have been restored to their former grandeur, thanks largely to the efforts of the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD), which has converted the historic structures for use as classrooms , dormitories, and administration buildings. Throughout downtown , the presence of SCAD - now the largest art school in the country-has led to the revitalization of neighborhoods by bringing students and faculty into the downtown area. Today, cafes , galleries , and bookstores line the downtown streets, and new boutiques, restaurants, and nightclubs are always opening throughout the area.
In addition to art students and tourists, one may frequentl y come across bands of girls in green, parading to the Juliette Gordon Low Birthplace, the home of the founder of the Girl Scouts. And

Washington Historical Museum, housed in a structure built in 183 5, displa ys more C ivi l Warrelated relics, as well as accounts of th e legends of lost Confederate gold that have prospectors poking holes in the dirt around these parts even now.
Just east of Washington, Ca llaway Plantation gives visitors an authentic glimpse into the past. Hi storic structures have been restored , and fields are planted in crops just like the y wo uld ha ve been in the 19th century. During the ann ual Mule Day in October, th e planta ti on comes to life with demonstrations oflost arts. In Louisville , the official state capital from 1795 to 1804, stands an 18th-century market hou se where slaves we re once traded . In Thom son, you 'll find the Rock House, the old est ston e house in the state . Wa ynesboro, wh ich claims the title of Bird Dog Capita l of the World , hosts huntin g clog tri als each January. Warrenton stages the annual Sportmen's Festival in November, and in Wren s you can visit gourd farms and get the makings for eye-catching gourd birdhouses .
Thomson is home to the Belle Meade Hunt, whi c h hosts fo x hunts and other events from November through March, and the sm all town of Harlem tips its hat to Oliver Hard y with th e Oliver Ha rd y Festival, an O ctober celebration of

the home town boy wh o mad e good in th e Laurel and Hardy comedies. The Oli ve r Hardy Museum, dedi ca ted to the li fe and times of this popular funn yman , has also recently opened in Harlem.
In addition to the region 's towns and cities, the C lassic South 's rivers and lakes provide outdoor recreation for both vaca tioners and res id en ts. Clarks Hill Lake in Lincoln County -the largest man-made lake east of the M iss iss ippi- abounds wi th fi sh and wildlife. Lake Oconee, the Sava nnah River, and the Ogee chee Rive r are also prime destination s for fi shing and other water sports. And after you've caugh t your limit, you can retire to some of the premier golf courses in the state, clustered in the area known as Georgia's Lake Country, around Lake O conee. Reynolds Plantation near Greensboro , long a popular upscale resort, now has a new Ritz-Carlton Lodge with 350 luxury sui tes, a spa , and 18 holes of championship golf. But those 18 hol es are n't the only ones waiting to challenge duffers and pros alike . Along wi th those of other resorts such as Port Armor, Harbor Club, and Cuscowilla, a total of 13 5 professionally design ed holes awa it you in this part of Georgia's Lake Country.
HISTORIC HEARTLAND It's fitting that Macon is home to the Geo rgia
Mus ic Hall of Fame. This c ity, the la rgest in the Histori c Heartland, has given the world some of contemporary music's best-known ar ti sts, from

80

Little Ri c hard and Otis Redding to James Brown , Gladys Kni ght, a nd Trisha Yea rwood . And thi s efful ge nce of mu sica l talent only hints at th e rich currents of creativity that flow not far beneath th e surfa ce in this sec tion of th e Hi stori c South.
The Music H a ll of Fame hosts prese ntation s and performances, travel in g shows, and permanent exh ibi ts devo ted to the musical tradition s of the state, from ea rl y field hollers and blu es to rock ' n' roll , R&B, and hip-hop .
Macon is also th e home of th e Georgia Sports Hall of Fame. Here, great local and regional sports stars are honored-including athletes from the high school level up to world-famous celebrities such as golfer Bobby Jones and home run king Hank Aaron.
Macon 's not just about bragging on th e accompli shments of g reat Georg ians, either. The c ity also takes time out eac h spring to celebrate floral splendor durin g its annua l Cherry Blossom Festi val, which bega n after a lo cal businessm an pl anted an arra y of exotic trees around hi s home , including the spec ies of Yoshino ch e rry that bloom s so spec ta cularl y around Wa shington, D .C.'s tid al ba sin eac h yea r. Enthu sia stic loca l vol unteers we re so impressed by the annual displa y that th ey began planting more and more of th e delightfu l trees aro und th e c ity, and toda y more than 200 ,000 of them burst into bloom each yea r.
Part of thi s area 's charm is the award-winn ing festi vals visitors can enjoy. T he towns of Byron and Fort Vall ey come together each year to throw the

annua l Peac h Festi va l, the officia l food fe stival of G eo rgia. Further so uth , in Pe rry, the Georgia National Fair and the Mossy Creek Barnya rd Festival provid e ente rtainm e nt for fam il ies and tra vele rs.
Macon, which escaped damage during th e Civi l Wa r, has numerous hi stor ic buildings and neighborhoods. One of the most curious is the Old
Cannonball House and Confederate Museum. It
wa s h ere th at the onl y cannonball to strike a building in Macon durin g th e Civil War came to rest.
Although the Mus ic Hall of Fame is in Macon, it's Athens, to the north , th a t c laims th e title as the h eadquarters of new music these clays. Hom e of the University of Georgia, the city pul ses with the adventures and ac ti viti es of ten s of thousands of college stude nts . From a mong these arti sts and sc hol ars numerou s band s have form ed and gone on to critical acclaim and financial success for the past 25 yea rs. Begin ning with the B-52 's and their infectious dance-party new wave so und , Athens quickly became known for new music. The su ccess ofR.E.M. sec ured that reputation , and today the downtown area is lib era ll y sprinkled with clubs that provid e ve nues for yo ung performers to try out th eir acts.
Be fore it be ca m e famous for ro ck ' n ' roll , Ath ens was known in musical circl es as a stop for tra veling black musica l acts. The Morton Theatre, wh ich has now been prese rve d and restored , was one of th e few black-owned theate rs in the

Below are a few of the region's activities you won't want to miss!
Blaze a trail Milledgeville is astop on the popular Antebellum Trail. Aperfect blend of Southern hospitality and history, the
trail is especially popular in the spring with peach blossoms, dogwoods, and azaleas in bloom.
Take in a show Athens' 40 Watt Club has been the premier venue for emerging rock acts for more than 20 years, and is a leg-
endary landmark in the recent history of American popular music.

Southeast and presented such acts as Cab Calloway and Duke Ellington .
Athens is also recognized for its sculpted ga rden s - it is the home of the first garden club in America-and the State Botanical Garden of Georgia is located on more than 313 trail-laced acres along the Oconee River. Among othe r pleasant diversions for visitors to the city is its splendid a ntebellum hom es, such as the TaylorGrady House , which was originally the home of Henry Grad y, the newspaper editor who first coined the term "New South ." And landmark locations such as the Varsity restaurant are always part of th e pilgrimages of university alumni , who stop by whenever they come through town to reconnect with the chili dogs and onion rings of their youth.
Nearby is th e charm in g town of Madi son , which was spared from Sherman 's torch because it was the home of an old West Point friend of the Union general. Today, man y of th e antebellum homes have been restored and are put to good service as bed-and-breakfasts. The Madison Morgan Cultural Center hosts vario us eve nts a nd hou ses a sm all museum containing Civil War reli cs.
South of Athens , Mi lledgevill e, ye t another former state capital, is the loc ation of Georgia College and State University, which serves as the repository for the memorabilia and pap ers of

Flannery O 'Connor. The author, who lived nearby on her mother's farm , Andalusia which is now open for tours , wrote su ch classics as Wise Blood and numerous short stories-troubling fiction that depicts eccentric characters and poses fundamental questions of morality, ethics , and fate.
In nearby Eatonton , a statue of Br'e r Rabbit presides over the courthouse square. It was here that Joel Chandler Harris heard old slave stories and recorded them as tales told by his alter ego, Uncle Remus. Eatonton also claims the di stinction ofbeing the hometown of writer Alice Walker, author of such works as Th e Color Purple. A selfguided Ali ce Walker Driving Tour takes visitors to some of th e signifi cant sites from her childhood.
Aside from its literary and musical attractions, the Historic Heartland also feature s one of the area's oldest works of art. Near Ea tonton , native inhabitants 5,000 yea rs ago piled quartz into the shape of a large bird. Today, Rock Eagle Effigy Mound provides testimon y to the fact th a t the currents of inspiration running through the region toda y have been flowin g for millenni a.
A great new wa y to en joy the experience of the Hi storic H eartland-to sa mpl e the atmosphere of our hi st0ri c towns and cities- is to head down one of the many trails that define the region. From city to city and town to town , these trail s reveal th e depth and breadth of th e region . Routes like Georgia's Treasures Along 1-20 Trail take the

traveler through the towns of Conyers, Covington, Social Circle, and Rutledge, all of which tempt with dive rsions th at are just minutes away from the convenience of the interstate. These charming towns, with crafts and antiques shops lining their downtown streets, offer tours of homes, historic sites, and a host of festivals all yea r round.
Geo rgia 's Peach Blossom Trail was created to ce lebrate th e reputation of Georgia as the Peach State. In spring, the countryside is covered with the blooming pea ch trees and in the summer the high ways are lined with roadside stands wh ere yo u can find jellies and jams and a chance to appreciate the fields covered with bountiful orchards. Georgia's Antebellum Trail provides a sce nic dri ve from Macon to Athens taking the traveler past major landmarks and antebellum homes. And for the shopper on the hunt for the perfect treasure, the Georgia Antique Trail treks to more than 200 antiques deal e rs in alm ost two dozen area towns.
MAGNOLIA MIDLANDS Through the Magnolia Midlands run great rivers. It's here that th e Ocmulgee and the O conee Rivers come together to form the mighty Altama ha, th e onl y major ri ver in Georgi a that flows to th e sea uninterrupted by a dam or any other obstruction. In the early da ys of settlement, the Altamaha was the border between the

British a nd the Spani sh as they vied for dominance in the Southeast. Once th e Spanish left and th e flow of pioneers in creased, the river became the main highway into the frontier. And once the land was settled , the river functioned as the artery of commerce, Aoating timber, crops, and cotton from the in terior to ports along the coast.
Today, much of the land along the Altamaha is as wild as it was a hundred yea rs ago , and it is prized as a natural area where we can experience what it must have been like for those intrepid earl y explorers who ventured into the southeastern for ests.
This part of th e sta te has its own particular geological charac teristi cs. Sand ridges left behind by the retreating ancient sea ri se and fall , lending shape and contour to the landscape. These ridges and their unique ecology can best be experienced at the Big Hammock atural Area on the Altamaha near Glennville , a habitat for rare plants and reptiles, species like the Georgia plume and turkey oak, and the threatened indigo snake .
The di stinctive geology of the region has also given ri se to one of the most famous products to come out of the state. Since the 1930s, when a local farmer discove red that the onion s he was pulling out of th e soil in the area around Vidalia were mild enough to be eaten like apples, Vidalia onions have been prized by cooks around the wo rld.

Centuries ago, the Cherokees of North Georgia's mountains told a tale about a serpent that lived along the creeks and caves of the ancient fore sts. The Uktena, it was sa id , was larger th an any human , and on its forehead was a crystal that contained all the colors of the rainbow. A person who stared into the crystal immediately became entranced. Early European settlers would search the misty peaks and vall eys for the mythical creature and the hypnotic crystal, and it lives on in legend even today.
Visitors to the region n ow can hike th e trails in North Georgia's national fore sts, follow the lazy, curving, scenic highwa ys through small towns, and raft down cascading rivers. Though the m ythical jeweled Uktena still eludes its seekers, plenty of other treasures beckon at every step along the way.

Today, a new kind of gold rush is taking place in the mountains - a rush of liquid gold in the form of Chardonnays, Cabernets, and muscadine nectars. In an earlier time, Georgia was the sixth-largest producer of win e grapesuntil Prohibition put a crimp in the business . But in the past decad e new wineries and vineya rds ha ve sprung up. The area is becoming known for the luxury of its facil iti es, while the fruits of its vines are ga ining a reputation m wine circles.
Vis itors can enjoy picturesque vista s of h ill sid es planted in French vinifera, American Norton, and other fin e grapes . At Tiger Mounta in Vineyards in T iger, yo u can tour the vineyard and sam ple Rabun Reel or Cabernet Franc.

Dahlonega's downtown is itself a delightful discovery, with shops and a town square that recall the virtues and valu es of times past. T he former courthouse has been converted to the Dahlonega Gold Museum Historic Site, and at other attractions, like the Crisson and Consolidated Gold Mines, novice prospectors can sift the sand in sea rch of flecks of the metal that drew thousan ds of the first settlers into North Georgia's mountains.

Southern fo lk art. Habersham W inery hosts tastings and tours and offers up its award-winning wines at a sh op in Helen's Nac oochee Village. And at Chateau Elan Winery and Resort in Braselton, Chardonnay, Merlot, and Cabernet grapes ripen in lu sh vineya rds surrounding a four-star inn , a European-style chateau, and a championship golf course . And these are just a few of the growing number of wineries sprouting in Georgia 's "wine country."

Another m ystery of the past preserves the area's Native American heritage. The Etowah Indian Mounds are the dramatic remains of a tribe that was central to a trading network reaching from the Great Lakes to Florida. On the site toda y, a muse um tell s the story of the Etowah, through hands-on exhibits, a nd vis itors can climb to the top of a mound where priests once conducted religious ceremonies.
The mounds are part of the Chieftain's Trail, a driving tour of ative American sites that also includes the Chief Vann House Historic Site, located just wes t of Chatsworth. Chief James Vann, a Cherokee leader who advocated assimilation to European culture, built the Federalstyle man sion in 1804. The Cherokees adopted new farming techniques, European dress, and even a constitution that established a government modeled on that of the United States. Today their heritage is remembered and celebrated at the Cherokee Fall Festival in late October.
The Cherokee capital, New Echota, located nea r Calhoun , is part of th e trail. Visitors can tour reconstructed buildings and the print shop where the Cherokee Phoenix, the first ative American newspaper, was publi shed . In Rome , the town 's oldest historica l landmark is the Chieftain 's Museum. It was originally the home of a controversial Cherokee leader, Major Ridge, who signed one of the final treaties with the

United States, leading to the removal of the Native inhabitants.
Rome, the largest city in the Historic High Country, is also home to a proud local institution-Berry College, named for th e innovative teaching program started by Martha Berry to provide opportunities for mountain childre n. Her efforts to help others led to the creation of the coll ege. The story of this "M iracle of the Mountains" is told at the Martha Berry Museum. Visitors can also tour the man y gardens on the campus. Downtown Rome offers excellent antiques shops, restauran ts, and arts and crafts b o u t i q u e s.
In Northwest Georgia one ca n also find reminders of America's struggle to remain "one nation indivisible ." The Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park offers a chance to contemplate the sac rifi ces made by the 34,000 casualties of the bloodiest two-day battle of the Civil War. Earthworks, entrenchments, and artillery have been restored to memorialize the men who died there. Other battle sites, including Lookout Mountain and Missionary Ridge, are nearby. On the edge of the battlefield is the antebellum Gordon-Lee Mansion, used as a wartime hospital , which is now an elegant b e d - a n d - b r e a k f a st.

industry had its start in th e ea rl y 1900s when an a rea farm girl tufted a c h e nill e bed spread and found people wanting more . Soon a machine was inven ted to m ass-produ ce th e bedspreads. It was discovered that with the addition of a stout backing, the sa me fabric could be used as a floor covering, and an industry was born. Some of thi s hi story is celeb rated at the Crown Gardens an d Arch ives in Dalton , and each October at Prater's Mill Country Fair. The city is a popul ar des tin ation for shoppers headed for th e Tanger Outlet Center and the Ca rpe t a nd Ru g Outlets loca ted th e re.
For more than 30 yea rs, th e Georg ia Apple Festival in Ellijay has drawn people into this mountain to wn to e njo y the turning leaves a nd the freshest cider. And up th e road from Ell ij ay is Blue Ridge, a classic mountain town where visitors can catch a ride on an excursion train that run s through th e No rth Georgia mountain s into Tennessee. The sun setting over the majestic roll ing h ills, th e rushing white water of mountain brooks, th e crisp, clean air at the break of dawn these are the main ingredients in th e popularity of th ese lands.

PRESIDENTIAL PATHWAYS One of this region 's most treasured destinations is Pine Mountain's Callaway Gardens, founded to promote an appreciation of nature and built on land that was depleted by cotton farming. Today bike paths, hiking trails, and winding roads allow visitors to enjoy the site's 14,000 acres. Th e Cecil B. Day Butterfly Center, where thousa nd s of butterflies dan ce upon the air, en chants all who see the spectacle. And, with 63 holes of ch amp ionship golf, 13 lakes , and a gun club, Calloway Gardens offers so much entertainment that it's almost imposs ible to take advantage of it all in just one visit.

Currently, everything from horseback riding to week-long training camps is available h e re, as well as occasional public equestrian events.
One of the most poignant and significant attractions in the a rea is east of Pine Mountain in Warm Springs, where Franklin D elano Roosevelt built a six-room cottage before h e became
presiden t. He frequentl y returned h e re to bathe
in the sp rings, seekin g relief from the polio tha t crippled him. The mineral springs had made the area a sacred Native American site and , later, a popul a r resort, but its fame in c rea sed when th e presiden t came to seek respite. Roosevelt was at his cabin , affectionately ca ll ed the Little White

Pine Mountain anchors a host of attractions in the Presidential Pathways sec tion of the Southern Rivers region. West Point Lake , stretching 35 miles along the Chattahoochee River on the western edge of Georgia's boundary with Alabama, is extremely popular a mong fi shermen going after the bountiful spotted, largemouth , white, and striped bass. Wild Animal Safari, a hands-on safari experience, will take visitors up close and personal to exotic animals from aro und the world. The "Zebrabus," a petting zoo, the Monkey House , and th e Alligator Pit Wild Animal Safari delight kids of all ages.
When th e 1996 Olympics came to Georgia , training for equestrian events took place at Big Bear Farm, on the outskirts of Pine Mountain.

House, when he died in 1945. Today, th e Little White House State Historic Site prese rves the cottage the way it was when th e great New D ealer enjoyed its tranquility. Additional memorabilia are displayed at the Roosevelt Museum , and class ic Southern cooking is on the menu at the Bulloch House Restaurant, loca ted in the delightful village of Warm Spring.
A littl e farther to the east of Pine Mountain is Thomaston , headquarters of the Covered Bridge Trail, which provides information about and promotes the prese rva tion and enjoyment of the 15 cove red bridges in Georgia that have survived the wind an d wea ther of tim e.
To the sou th , along the C hatta hooch ee Ri ve r, lies the region 's largest city, Columbus. Th e river

has always been at the h eart of Columbus's identity. Trails for biking, hiking, wa lking, and jogging wind along th e Columbus Ri ve rwalk, 12 miles of pi cturesqu e pathways dotted wi th historical sites commemora ting the role played by Columbus in Georgia's growth.
Being a river town , Columbus is an appropriate location for the Port Columbus lational C ivil War Nava l Museum , which con tains period artifacts th a t tell the sto ri es of the numerous nautical innovations and inven ti ons developed during the C ivil War, including two Confederate wars hips recovered from the C ha ttahooc h ee. Visitors can see what life was like for sai lors belowdecks on an ironcl ad -on e of th e early designs th at signaled th e end of the era of wooden battleships-and sit through a stimula ting "naval battle simul atio n ," re-crea ting th e chaos of war on th e surging ri ve r.
Once th e site of factories that bu il t warsh ips for th e Confederacy, Columbus con tinu es to play a ro le in national defense today. T h e Columbusarea mi litary base Fort Benning has been one of th e major training faci liti es for America's fighting men and women . The National Infantry Museum exhibits tell of the hardships and heroics of the foot soldi e rs who have fought for America's freedam sin ce th e Revolution.

Columbu s is also th e home of the Springer Opera Hou se, the official state theater of Georgia. A favorite stop among touring troupes who tra veled be twee n \Vas hin gton , D.C. , a nd
ew Orleans , the Springer attracted su ch 19 thcentury ce lebrities as Oscar Wilde and John Philip Sousa. The th eate r was saved from th e wrecking ball in th e 1960s a nd now hosts touring shows and a year-ro und slate of programs . The hub of culture in town today is the Ri ve rCente r for the Performing Arts , a complex of theaters and performance space in the heart of historic Columbus.
Visitors to Colu mbus ca n leap into th e future and travel to space at the Coca-Cola Space Science Cen ter. The planetarium and observatory have regularly scheduled shows and "sta r parties," held during celes ti al events su c h as an ec lipse or a meteor shower. Visitors can see repli cas of a Space Shuttle O rbiter an d an Apoll o space capsule .
Traveling south in this otherwise rolling countrys id e, yo u'll come upon Providence Canyon State Conservation Park in Lumpkin , which has been nicknamed Georgia's Little Grand Canyon. Th is surpri se in the landscape reveal s stunning panoramas of rugged formation s. Hiking trail s take th e daring down into deep go rges that look more li ke they belong in th e North Georgia mountains than in southwestern Geo rgia . No matter how chall enging the trails, the canyon rewards th e adventurous with drama ti c views as well as the blooms of the rare plu m leaf aza lea.

Ju st a bit outside of Lumpkin, a short drive becomes a trip through time when yo u en ter Westville Village, a living-history museum where gu id es dress in costumes from the 1850s and demonstrate arts and crafts from that period . The struc tures collected at Westville in clude farm hou ses, blacksmith shops, a cotton gin, and stately man sions.
A uniqu e roadside attraction in thi s area is Pasaquan, a folk art installation crea ted by Eddie Owens Martin, a local boy gone visionary. In hi s later yea rs, Martin in vented a new identity as St. EOM and worked for decades to remake his famil y farm into a spectacle of colorful and bi za rre shapes and design s influenced by a wide range of artistic styles, from Aztec to Warho l.
Th is region also features interesting creations th at grow and change with the seasons. In Taylor County, near Reynolds, the AgriMaze at Taylor Orchards leads kids and grown-ups along challenging paths through acres of corn planted in themed designs that in recent yea rs ha ve included a Southern belle and the solar sys tem. West of Barnesvi lle, the MAiZE at Rock Ranch also offers vis itors a chance to get lost in their im agination s, as we ll as to en joy fa ll fun with ha yrides and a petting zoo.
Of course, more than corn grows in thi s part of Georgia . There are plenty of peanuts, too , and the Presidential Pathways has earned its name by being the home not only of FDR's Little W hite

House but also of Georgia's favorite son, President Jimmy Carter who won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002. The old Plains High School has been converted into a museum that anchors the Jimmy Carter National Historic Site. There are more than two dozen other Carter-related attractions around Plains, including the Jimmy Carter Boyh ood Fa rm and the train depot where Carter an nounced his long shot at the White House. One of the newer attractions is the Plains Inn and Antique Mall, located in an 1870s-e ra building once owned by Carter's cou sin Hugh Carter. Each room is furnished to represen t a decade in the life of President Carter, and Jimm y and Rosa lynn themselves helped out with the project.
Down the road a bit, be sure to visit the Andersonville ational H istoric Site, wh ich prese rves the Andersonvi ll e National Cemetery and Camp Sumter, as well as maintaining the ational Prisoner of War Museum, where ex hibits pay tribute to American pri so ners of all wars, from the Revolutionary Wa r to the Persian Gulf War.
In Ame ri cus, the Windsor Hotel and the Ryla nd er Theatre are restored historic sites, and in the sma ll town of Leslie, the Georgia Rural Telephone Museum serves as a remarkable record of the rou te that led to today's modern digital telecommunications. A great way to see all of these attractions is via the SAM Shortline, or Sou thwest Georgia Excursion Train. Passengers ride in vintage 1949 train cars through th e co untrys id e to th e
