MILLEDGEVILLE MADISON

BY EMILY FOLEY

W hen people think of food in Georgia, many believe it's all barbecue and fried chicken. And while these traditional Southern dishes are beloved, Georg ia's cuisine is as rich and diverse as the land itself. From farmland to urban sprawl, from the Atlantic Coast to the Blue Ridge Mountains, different regions have different traditions and a plethora of foods to offer.
The preparation of chili has long been considered an art nationwide, and Georgia is no exception . The number of chili recipes is as vast as the number of opinions on its taste. Some insist that chili is defined by the beans, while others would never deign to have beans in their recipe.
Cook-offs are a popu lar way for chili cooks to test their recipes against one another, and an enjoyable way for chili lovers to become true connoisseurs for a day. The International Chili Society's Georgia State Cook-off is held at Rocco's Pub in Marietta each year. The event

has been called "Georgia's Super Bowl of Chili," and each year the best chili chefs from across the state come to compete. The Great Miller Lite Chili Cook-off is held annually at Stone Mountain Park and draws crowds nearing 15,000.
Barbecue is a special part of Georgia 's cu isine, with roots dating back to the earliest days of life in the New World . The etymology of the word " barbecue" can be traced to the Arawak Indian word "barbacoa," a sturdy wooden framework where meat was dried or grilled. While there are several methods of cooking barbecue, Georgians prefer pit cooking, a style that originated in the settlement days of America. The most integral part of barbecue is the sauce, whether it's mustard based, tomato based or vinegar based. Each region of the South is characterized by a specific sauce, and for Georgia it is a spicy, sweet mixture made with vinegar, tomatoes and mustard.
Of course, barbecue cannot even be discussed, let alone eaten, without

talking about its perfect complement, Brunswick stew. Many places with Brunswick in their names claim to be the home of this barbecue side dish's inception, but any Georgia native credits Brunswick, Ga ., with that distinction. Like barbecue, Brunswick stew is associated with community gatherings and political rallies.
Barbecue festivals and cook-offs are prevalent in Georgia. The Peach State holds the honor of hosting the National BBQ Festival in Douglas each November. This festival features multiple contests including best sauce, people's choice and a children's competition, and gives away more than $60,000 in cash and prizes each year. Georgia's official state BBQ cooking contest is the Big Pig Jig. This contest features BBQ City USA, in which the cooking teams transform their shacks into a themed town each year. Other festivals scattered across the state include The Georgia Barbecue Classic in Cartersville each June; the Dillard Bluegrass & Barbecue Festival in August;

GEORGIA.ORG 1-800-VISIT GA

Decatur's BBQ, Blues & Bluegrass Festival in August; Barnesville BBQ & Blues Festival in October; and the Cherokee Pignic in Canton each October.
The coastal regions of Georgia enjoy fresh seafood caught in its rivers and in the Atlantic Ocean. Shrimp is the state's most valuable seafood crop, and it is estimated that between 4.5 and 9.5 million pounds are harvested annually along the Georgia Coast. Shrimp and grits is one way to enjoy this Low Country fare. Although originally enjoyed as a simple home-cooked breakfast item, now the dish is served at any time of the day and is even found on the menus of fine-dining restaurants. It should also be noted that grits are the state's official prepared food, and Georgia is home to the National Grits Festival , held in Warwick each year.
Catfish is another of Georgia's seafood notables, and a prime source of the fish is the Altamaha River-the largest river system east of the Mississippi. While catfish can be prepared a number of ways, fried catfish remains the handsdown favorite. Festivals celebrating these coastland delights include Kingsland's Annual Labor Day Catfish Festival, Savannah's annual Seafood Festival each November and Shrimp & Grits: The Wild Georgia Shrimp Festival, hosted on Jekyll Island each September. This weekend of fun includes both professional and amateur cooking competitions.
Along Georgia 's southeastern coast, one can find specific cultural cuisine: that of the Gullah people. Although Gullahs living on the Georgia barrier islands are typically referred to as Geechees, their food remains the same. "One-pot" dishes, deep frying and a prevalence of rice are all mainstays in Geechee cuisine. Probably most important, however, is the distinct taste for which the food is known. Geechee cooks make it quite clear that the flavor is achieved according to individual taste, and this taste is passed from generation to generation. So although it is difficult for anyone outside the Geechee culture to duplicate the cuisine, it is easily enjoyed by anyone with taste buds. The annual Georgia Sea Island Festival is held on St. Simons

GDEcD
Island each June and celebrates the culture of the Gullah/Geechee people.
Another Georgia favorite with deeply Southern roots is Hoppin' John. Hoppin' John consists of black-eyed peas and rice, seasoned with pork (often fatback, hock or hog jowls), and in the South it is traditionally enjoyed on New Years Day for good luck. There are many tales of how Hoppin' John got its name, but the one most commonly embraced is that the name came from

"pois pigeons" (pronounced "pwah peejon "), which means black-eyed peas in French Creole. This name, repeated over time by people of different dialects, eventually evolved into the name Hoppin' John. At Melon Bluff in Midway, you can see where seminole red peas are grown for the Georgia version of Hoppin' John for Historic Seabrook Village.
The Smithsonian Institution currently has a traveling exhibit titled Key Ingredients: America by Food. The exhibit will be moving across the nation to rural communities to teach about the history and culture surrounding our country's diverse cuisine. This exhibit will start traveling in Georgia in 2008, making stops at various cities: Buchanan, Dahlonega, Ellijay, Flovilla, Hapeville, Indian Springs, Kingsland, LaFayette, Thomson, Tifton, Vidalia, Vienna and Waynesboro. For more information, check out the Web site at keyingredients.org.
Georgia can boast foods from many cultures, ranging from comfort to gourmet. This unique fare has international appeal and can be found in restaurants and markets across the state, particularly in and around larger cities. So it seems only natural that when Georgia's on their minds, people may start getting hungry!

Georgia renovates and saves its theaters
BY MARGARET TATE
T here was a time when just about every town in Georgia boasted a theater. Some originated in the 1880s as opera houses in the grandest tradition. In later years, more venues came along to serve the public's enthusiasm for vaudeville and even burlesque. Of course, the biggest boom came with the advent of motion pictures. From the most basic of "picture shows" to the most opulent of "movie palaces," fans didn't have to go far to see their favorite marquee stars on Saturday night.
Then came the 1950s and television. Audiences gradually dwindled, and over the next few decades, Georgia theaters began to shut down, fall down or be torn down . That is, until Georgia citizens began to fight, not just for their architectural past, but for their artistic future.
One of the most famous fights to save a Georgia theater began in the early 1970s, when word got out that Atlanta 's Fox Theatre was slated for demolition. The lavish, mosque-like structure had been built as a Shriners headquarters in the late 1920s but was soon converted into a movie palace. From the Great Depression through the mid-1960s, audiences flocked to The Fox to see movies, concerts and plays. Unfortunately, changing
GEORG IA.ORG 1-800-VIS IT GA

demographics along with film-industry policies made it increasingly difficult to keep The Fox afloat.
Atlanta had let Loews Grand, host of the 1939 premiere of Gone With the Wind, fall to the wrecking ball after a devastating fire, and the city was not about to make the mistake again. A four-year fundraiser ensued, and by 1976, The Fox was designated a National Historic Landmark. Volunteers and artisans began the $20 million task of restoring The Fox to its original glory, and soon the theater was up and running at a surplus.
Today, the Fabulous Fox auditorium, with its faux sky of twinkling stars and drifting clouds, is booked more than 325 nights a year. It hosts Broadway Across America and is home to Theater of the Stars as well as the Atlanta Ballet, the oldest continuously operating ballet company in the United States.
There's hardly a region in the state that doesn't have a theater "war story" to tell. In Savannah, the Lucas Theatre, built in 1921 as a movie palace with space for road shows, was repeatedly threatened until citizens joined forces in 1986 to save it. Fourteen years and $14 million later (with a boost from the casts and crews of both Forrest Gump and Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, which shot on location in Savannah), a grand reopening was held in 2000.
The Historic Savannah Theatre sits on what is the oldest continuously operating theater site in America. The first theater was built there in 1818; the last, an Art Deco movie house, was built after a 1948 fire. Now, the refurbished venue is more profitable than ever, with audiences packing the house for long-running, recurring performances such as Broadway on Bull Street and Jukebox Journey.
Statesboro proudly honors Bulloch County native Emma Kelly ("The Lady of 6,000 Songs," who gained national recognition from her cameo in Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil) with a 1936 movie house restored in her name.
Traveling inland to Macon, there's the Grand Opera House, built in 1884. At the time, architect W.R. Gunn guaranteed the visual and acoustical integrity
GEORGIA.ORG 1-800-VISIT GA

Official Georgia Travel Guide 11

of every seat in the house or he would forfeit $1,000. No one ever challenged his claim . As times and tastes changed, the venue hosted everything from minstrel shows to musical comedies. In 1936, it morphed into a movie house, and the last movie to run before the theater fell into disuse was The Sound of Music. Soon, plans were made to tear it down to make way for a parking lot. Fortunately, locals formed the Macon Arts Council and raised money to restore this treasure. Now it's managed by Mercer University, and attendance is brisk for touring Broadway shows, music, dance and local theater presentations.
The Douglass Theatre, also in Macon, was the premier venue for local AfricanAmericans from the 1920s until 1972, hosting jazz greats like Bessie Smith, big-band musicians like Duke Ellington, and rising stars like Macon natives Otis Redding and Little Richard. The Douglass reopened in 1997 and now serves all races with films and live shows.
Farther west, Columbus boasts two historic venues of note. The 137year-old Springer Opera House, once deemed the finest opera house between Washington, D.C., and New Orleans, was saved by the community in 1964. Today it is known as the State Theater of Georgia. With an expansive Edwardian lobby, curving double balconies, a magnificent brass chandelier, and a high proscenium arch, it's every bit as grand as in 1871. What's more, the Springer consistently ranks among Georgia's top arts organizations, based on its artistic excellence

GDEcD
and educational programming. The Liberty Theatre was the first b lack theater and the largest movie house in Columbus when it was built in 1924. It hosted Marian Anderson, Ella Fitzgerald and Lena Horne, among others, and now it's on the National Register of Historic Places, serving as a performing arts center for the entire community.
In Americus, the restored Rylander Theater retains its original 1921 grandeur, with ornate plaster work, curved ceilings, painted murals and intricate stenciling, but the seats are new and the lineup is fresh, with regular productions by the Sumter (County) Players, the Missoula Children's Theatre, musical acts, and touring groups such as the Atlanta Ballet.

East of Atlanta, Athens' Morton Theatre (1910) is the city 's only surviving theater from the early 20th century. A venture by prominent businessman Monroe "Pink" Morton, it was the first vaudeville theater in the nation to be built, owned and operated by an African-American. The venue's history parallels the ups and downs of many other Georgia theaters, and during the 1980s, the empty space was used for rehearsals by bands such as the B-52's and R.E.M . Today, the restored facility hosts events ranging from touring theatrical productions to poetry jams.
The Imperial Theatre in Augusta (1916) is the o ldest theater in the area. In its early days, it hosted vaudeville attractions and such stars as Charlie Chaplin. An impressive new marquis was recently installed, and today it hosts a variety of cultural events including the Augusta Ballet, the Augusta Opera, the Augusta Players and the Augusta Jazz Project.
Theater thrives in the North Georgia hil ls as wel l, with several reclaimed venues offering music, movies and plays-including Dahlonega's Holly Theatre (1946 Art Nouveau); Elberton's Historic Elbert Theatre (1940 Art Deco); Dalton's Wink Theatre (1941 Art Moderne); Rome's DeSoto Theatre (1929 Greco-Roman); and Cartersville's The Grand Theatre (1930 Beaux Arts).
Countless other communities have turned vacant churches, old schoolhouse auditoriums and even abandoned cotton gins into working performance spaces. Venues like Augusta 's Miller Theater and the old Union Point movie house are currently enjoying their turn at restoration. Of course, Georgia communities are making way for the new even as they save the old. There are ultra-modern performing arts centers all over the state that may one day themselves be at the center of a preservation fight.
After all, having learned from the past and with an eye toward the future, Georgia citizens are working harder than ever to make sure that performing arts have a place-and that means a space-in their communities.

M any people who visit the Peach State at some point immerse themselves in one of the many bodies of water scattered throughout Georgia. From the Atlantic Ocean to a myriad of lakes and the more than 14 rivers flowing through Georgia, opportunities for recreation on and off the water are endless. No matter which part of the state you travel to, the chance to go fishing, boating, tubing, rafting or swimming is available.
About a half-hour drive north from Atlanta, Lake Lanier is a prime spot for all types of recreation. This 38,000acre lake is especially great if you have time to spend at least a few days on the water. Lanier has plenty of lodging options, including villas overlooking the lake, upscale resorts, houseboat rentals and camping. Hidden with in the foothill s of the Blue Ridge Mountains, nearby activities include horseback rid-

ing, golfing and a water park on Lake Lanier Islands. Mall of Georgia, one of the largest malls in the Southeast, is in Buford, south of the lake. Close by is Gainesville, a medium-sized city with plenty of unique shops, eateries, art galleries, theaters and more.
To expand your water- and natureinspired activities, head west toward Amicalola Falls State Park and Lodge, a favorite spot for those who visit Georg ia. With a 729-foot waterfall, trout fishing, hiking and plenty of dog-friendly lodging and day-trip options, the park offers a wide variety of activities-even a ropes course for the more adventurous.
Like Lanier, another great water spot in the Blue Ridge Mountains is 450-foot deep Carters Lake. One of two feeder lakes for the Coosa River Basin, the lake was built by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Carters Lake is mostly undeveloped with plenty of walleye, bass, crappie, catfish and blue-

gill ; but keep in mind that boat access is limited to small jon boats. While you 're there, tour an apple orchard in Ellijay, which is famous for apples, mountains and historic sites. Another lake option near Ellijay is Lake Blue Ridge, known for its spectacular mountain view and the numerous waterfalls nearby.
Starting just north of Ellijay, the Coosawattee River is perfect for some quick-paced rafting and canoeing. The river dams at Carters Lake and starts again after Carters, flowing to Calhoun where it turns into the Oostanaula River. The Oostanaula flows through Rome before merging with the Etowah River to form the Coosa River. The Oostanaula has five drop-in boat ramps and the Etowah has two in the Rome area. Both of these are placid rivers that make for a pleasant canoe ride, even for the todd Ier-set.
For a faster-paced ride down the water, take a trip down the Chattooga

14 Official Georgia Travel Guide

GEORGIAORG 1-800-VISIT GA

River, Georgia's only nationally designated Wild & Scenic River. Not only are the rapids fast, but you 'll also discover waterfalls and trails for hiking and mountain biking.
East of Rome is Red Top Mountain State Park and Lodge, which surrounds Lake Allatoona, one of Georgia's best parks for boating; swimming; water sports; and fishing for bass, crappie and other species. If you don't have a boat, rentals are available, and families love to spend the day frolicking in Allatoona 's lakeside swimming beach.
Just minutes away is Lake Acworth, which is ideal for swimming and paddle boating. Surrounded by lakes Acworth and Allatoona, the city of Acworth, a historic Main Street City, is about 30 minutes north of Atlanta and is one of the faster-growing areas of Georgia. It offers eclectic shops in its historic downtown district.
From this area, you have quick access to all Atlanta has to offer. To break up your time between the city's attractions, consider a trip down the Chattahoochee River in a raft or kayak.
Get back to more fun water activities at other Georg ia lakes, including Lake Oconee, which is surrounded by three parks developed by Georgia Power. This lake and West Point Lake are sites for the annual ESPN BassMaster Weekend Series. The area around Lake Oconee offers a variety of things to do. For an upscale weekend getaway, consider a stay at Cuscowilla Resort or The Ritz-Carlton Lodge, Reynolds Plan-

tation, where you can rela x at the spa, nap by the lake or take in a round of golf at one of severa l championship courses . If you'll be in town during October, check the dates for the Lake Oconee Music Festival. This three-day festival is full of music for all tastes, as well as plenty of other family-oriented activities, including hot-air balloon rides, a wine tasting, a car show and things for the kids to do.
Near Oconee are lakes Sinclair, Tobesofkee and Jackson, where swimming and boating abound. Tobesofkee also has campsites with full electrical and water hook-ups. Lake Jackson offers cabin and houseboat rentals, in addition to campgrounds. You can find the start of the Altamaha River system close by. This system includes the Ocmulgee River, Ohoopee River and Oconee River. One of the largest rivers

in Georgia, the Altahama River and its lands are among the state's least-d isturbed habitats and provides some of the best catfish fishing around.
Running along two major cities in eastern Georgia, Augusta and Savannah, you 'll find another great river: the Savannah River. The city of Savannah, at the southern end, is known for its historic charm, ghost tours and nightlife. Festivals and cultural events enliven the city, which is located along the Atlantic Ocean, where boating and swimming options are available. Stops along Georgia's 100 miles of coastline offer pristine beaches and islands. This part of the Atlantic is a great area for catching the popular red fish . On the Augusta end of the Savannah River, enjoy the water 's beauty with a strol l down Augusta 's Riverwalk. Visit the numerous attractions, restaurants and events held there year-round.
In the east-central part of the state you will find Clarks Hill/Thurmond Lake, the largest Corps of Engineers project east of the Mississippi River. It is home to numerous local , regional and national fishing tournaments, such as the BassMaster Weekend Series National Championships and the FLW Series Event. This lake features an abundance of parks, marinas, day-use areas and campgrounds, and is known as the "Best Top-Water Fishing Lake in the Southeast." Farther north, Russell Lake is ideal for wildlife sightings and fishing for striped bass, largemouth bass, bream and crappie.

GEORGIA.ORG 1-800-V ISIT GA

Official Georgia Travel Guide 15

Also ideal for wildlife is Lake Seminole, situated farther south, near the Florida border. One of the top bassfishing lakes in the state, Seminole has si x marinas and 35 park and recreation areas. The lake has rugged and swamplike areas and is surrounded by Seminole State Park, which overflows with longleaf pines, wiregrass and native wildlife. The park is also a good venue for duck and deer hunting, when in season. Lake Seminole has several park areas and three public swimming beaches.
Close by in Pine Mountain you 'll find Callaway Gardens, which offers multiple activities-with many of them focused on its large lake. You can rent boats, learn to ski and take fly-fishing lessons. The lake also boasts the title

Mistletoe State Park on Clarks Hill Lake
of "World's Largest Man-made Inland Beach ," which offers activities for the whole family. If you want to spend the day fishing, travel northwest to West Point Lake. The lake itself and its creeks provide great spots to catch bass, catfish, crappie and bream.
When you're on the water, remember to keep Georgia's boating and fishing laws in mind.
If you own a boat, it must be registered and have a validation decal unless it is under 12 feet in length; has no mechanical propulsion; or will be operated exclusively on private ponds or lakes.
All boats must have a life jacket for each person as well as a throwable life-saving device.
Boats cannot be operated over idle speed within 100 feet of people, other boats, or shoreline near residences, parks, beaches or other public-use areas. Jet skis cannot be over 5 mph in the same locations.
Boats must be driven by someone over the age of 16 with valid identification.

For a river adventure, head to the Flint River. Its area includes great wetlands with a variety of wildlife and plants. Sprewell Bluff State Park is located along the Flint River in Thomaston.
Bordering Alabama is the 45,180acre Lake Walter F. George. This lake is close to three state parks: Florence Marina State Park in Omaha, Bagby State Park and Lodge in Fort Gaines, and Providence Canyon State Park. Providence Canyon is known as Georgia's " Little Grand Canyon ," with breathtaking gu lli es and hiking trails. Consider Lake George and its Spanish moss and cypress trees if you're looking for a peacefu l, less-crowded lake. If fishing is part of your rela xation, plan to catch bass, bream, bluegill, catfis h and crappie.
No matter where you are in the state, there is a great body of water and its surrounding area to enjoy. So pack for activities on land and water and head out for fun across Georgia.
You can find more information on these and additional safety laws at georgiawildlife.dnr.state.ga.us. Keep in mind that specific boating sites may have additional restrictions. The state recommends boating classes before heading to the water.
Anyone over the age of 16 fishing in public areas must have a fishing license. There are annual, one-day, trout, sportsman, lifetime and combination fishing/hunting licenses. Most can be bought at marinas and stores near the lakes and waters or online at georgiawildlife.dnr.state.ga.us.
Note the daily limits and seasons for fishing and note exceptions. Trout fishing has particular lfmits, with its own special license. Please check with local officials to determine the local fishing regulations, and if you catch a tagged fish, the tag will provide direc-
tions as to what to do with it.

SET SAILALONG THE COAST
Taking a charter along Georgia's coast is a unique experience-from the ride itself to the sites.
"Georgia's coast provides one of the most scenic series of coastal islands anywhere, with Cumberland, Jekyll and St. Simons adjacent to Brunswick," says Lady Jane shrimp boat Captain Larry Credle. You may encounter vessels of every shape and size, from small fishing boats to enormous cargo ships. Depending on the season, you may see fleets of shrimp boats trailed by huge flocks of sea birds. Wildlife is abundant. from shorebirds to friendly dolphins.
When on a charter, it is a good idea to have sunblock, a hat, sunglasses and cash to tip the first mate and mates. Captain Credle also suggests passengers wear soft-soled shoes.
Before you book a charter, be sure the vessel is licensed and certified for charters. You can find this information and more at the local visitors bureaus, Chambers of Commerce and marinas.

30 Official Georgia Travel Guide

ears ago, Lanier Meaders got a few dollars for the pots and jugs that he made from the clay he dug near his home in Mossy Creek, located between Perry and Warner Robins. Neither he nor the tourists who stopped at his pottery workshop on their way to Florida had any idea that collectors would later covet those same pots, sometimes paying five figures. There are stil l unique and beautiful arts and crafts to be found on the rural roads of Georgia. If your mantel needs a face jug leering down from it, stop at the Folk Pottery Museum of Northeast Georgia in Sautee Nacoochee. Pick up a brochure that maps out the Folk Potters Trail , where craftspeople still "turn and burn " as their ancestors did. The Folk Pottery Museum is part of the Sautee Nacoochee Center, which also has a history museum and an art gallery. Nearby you can pick up handmade soaps from Greenstone Soap Company or gourd artwork from The Gourd Place. There are other galleries and shops in the area, many of which are listed on the Mountain Heritage Arts Tour, just one of several self-guided art-by-themile trails that are new in Georgia. In Clarkesville, explore Mark of the Potter, Burton Gallery & Emporium or Serendipity Stained Glass. Then don't miss Main Street Gallery, the Globe and other galleries in Clayton. A turn north on 441 will take you to the Foxfire Museum and the flea markets and shops in Dillard. South on 441 , stop in Tallulah

A little farther southeast is the Broad River Trai l, encompassing ga lleries, studios and shops along the back roads near Interstate 85.

Genuine Georgia, with a range of art from primitive to contemporary, is nearby in Greensboro, as are several shops with unique items. Watkinsville, home to metal-working studios, glassblowing shops, potteries and galleries, is next on the trail. It is the home of Perspectives, Georgia 's largest annual pottery exhibit and sale, held every September. In the spring, many of the same artisans will be at Macon's Fired Works sale, a regional show. With its long tradit ion of nurturing creativity, Athens has numerous gal leries and studios in and around the University of Georgia. Shop-

The Emanuel Arts Council in Swainsboro has opened the Kalmanson Gallery, with monthly exhibitions featuring regional artists September to May and local and amateur artists June to July.
The beauty and history of Georgia's coast has inspired artists for cen turies. Many trips to the coast begin in Savannah, with its unique stores and galleries. Don 't miss the City Market section in downtown.
On the way to the Golden Isles, stop at the Old Jail Art Center in Darien for paintings, quilts and wal l hangings.

Down the street, Painted Moon and Fiddler's are worth a visit too.
Sweetgrass baskets are native to th is part of the state. They are created by the Gullah/Geechee descendants of slaves, some of whom still live on Sapelo Island. The V isitors Center at Meridian is one of the few places the baskets can

thousands of square feet dedicated to art and artisans. The Turner Center for the Arts has jewelry, pottery, soaps, paintings and woodworking. A few blocks away, the City Market has paintings, pottery, crafts and sculptures.
Westville offers a taste of the past with the offerings of pottery, quilts, soaps, candles, woodcrafts, baskets and products of the on-site blacksmith. Not only are these items available for purchase, but you can also learn from

and help the crafters as they work. In Greenville, a few descendants of
the Reeves family still make split white oak baskets as their ancestors did. The baskets are available at the Cotton Pickin' Fair in Gay in May and October. In Zebu-
101\ Louise Reeves Brown sometimes
sells them at the post office on summer Saturdays. Another popular fair with high-quality arts and crafts is the Powers' Crossroads Country Fair & Art Festival in Newnan, held Labor Day weekend.

Farther north in the state, craftspeople bring their work to the Prater's Mill Country Fair every October. This fair celebrates the rich history of Appalachian tradition.
A concentrated area is sometimes a better market. The Castleberry Hill neighborhood, south of downtown Atlanta, has many galleries. North of Atlanta in Buford, studios and shops are housed in an old factory. The Atlanta Dogwood Festival is known for the artists (and shoppers) that welcome spring annually in its April show. Marietta and Roswell both have well-attended arts festivals in September, plus numerous galleries in their downtown areas. Clay Fetish Pottery, sold at Raiford Gallery in Roswell, is just one of the many beautiful and unique items available. Smyrna has the delightful Jonquil Festival, Kennesaw the Big Shanty Festival, and Stone Mountain hosts tens of thousands for the Yellow Daisy Festival every September.
In Georgia, whether you're on a rural road , in a small town or in an urban center, there's something unique and made right here, waiting for you to take it home.

Georgia's luscious produce offers great eating and entertainment
BY JENNIFER TAYLOR

I n the past, consumers bought imported produce for the luxury of enjoying out-of-season fruit. A recent trend is a switch to regional producers, due to the unsurpassed quality of local produce. The state-sponsored Georgia Grown initiative has raised awareness of buying locally, benefiting both consumers and growers. It may surprise you to learn the Peach State is the leading producer of pecans and peanuts and is known for legendary peaches, tomatoes, watermelons and those sweet Vidalia onions. If you're looking for a wide variety of fruits, vegetables and artisanal products, you'll find them in Georgia.
Those looking to take a culinary road trip can choose from a multitude of farmers and produce markets across the state. Forest Park, just south of Atlanta, is home to the Atlanta State

Farmers Market and the Georgia Grown Visitors Center. Burt's Farm in Dawsonville boasts pumpkins ranging from 1 to a hefty 150 pounds to lug home. You can also shop for jams, jellies and pumpkin-inspired desserts. In Alto, visit Jaemor Farm Market to check out the array of fruits and vegetables, as well as furniture made from oak and pine. Hillside Orchard Farms in Tiger offers a cornucopia of products made with Georgia Grown ingredients, such as preserves,

jellies, and fruit and vegetable butters to spice up your dishes. During its season, visitors can watch sorghum being made. Lane Southern Orchard in Fort Valley offers guided farm tours in its trolley through the strawberry, asparagus, peach and pecan fields.
If you're a strawberry fan, head over to Kauffman's Farmarket in Montezuma, located in a large Mennonite community. At this 18-acre strawberry farm, you can select your own strawberries, as well as other fruits and vegetables. Make a point to visit Taylor Orchards in Reyno lds, which has a 3,000-plusacre farm bursting with peaches and strawberries, as well as jams made from the orchard's fruit. Why not send a box filled with luscious peaches as a gift? For additional gift ideas, Ellis Bros. Pecans in Vienna is stocked with pecans, peanuts and delicious candies.

You can purchase gift boxes and tins of snacks, which are thoughtful presents throughout the year.
You can't talk about Georgia produce without mentioning the sweet Vidalia onion. These onions are a regional vegetable, owing their sweetness to the Georgia climate and unique soil conditions. Did you know the state vegetable is grown only in certain counties? Look through the Vidalia Onion Factory and Gift Shop for a selection of dressings, relishes and sauces. About an hour away in Statesboro, Braswell 's has a host of fruit spreads, salsas and dips to choose from. Their red pepper jelly on cream cheese is a popular appetizer, sure to be a hit at any party.
If you 're going to a holiday party, consider a great fruitcake as a hostess gift. In Cla xton. stock up on the famed treats in the " Fruitcake Capital of the World."

Trappist monks at the Monastery of the Holy Spirit near Conyers.

Watermelon is not just for picnics anymore, so drop by the "Watermelon Capital of the World," where Cordele specializes in the sweet and abundant fruit. Watermelons, cantaloupes, and additional fruits and vegetables are plentiful in the area's farmers market.

You might have seen The Savannah Bee Company mentioned in national publications or found their products in stores such as Williams-Sonoma and Neiman Marcus. The company is known for rare specialty honey and body-care products made with natural ingredients.
Speaking of natural products, numerous cities and towns celebrate homegrown produce from spring into fall with annual festivals. There are plenty to choose from, each including fun for the family.

land of her forebears around Jonesboro. Known as the "home" of Gone With the Wind, Jonesboro also boasts the world's largest permanent GWTW exhibit at The Road to Tara Museum.

Officia l Georgia Travel Guide 65

FROM THE TANNIN-INFUSED CHANNELS of the Okefenokee to the windswept dunes of the barrier islands, Georgia's coast teems with life. Discover captivating wildlife, delicate ecosystems, luxury resorts, bustling historic ports and towns, and a wealth of cultural resources in this region of sandy shores, meandering rivers and magnificent swampland.

BOUNTIFUL BARRIERS
Georgia 's coastline is protected by 12 barrier islands, many of which remain unspoiled by development and offer glimpses into rare maritime ecosystems. Wild horses graze amongst the scrub pine of Cumberland Island; the ruins of Dungeness, Thomas Carnegie's oncesplendid island estate, loom over aban-

doned formal gardens. Watch bottlenose dolphins around St. Marys, Tybee Island and Darien; scuba dive at Gray's Reef National Marine Sanctuary; or venture out on a deep-sea fishing excursion.
OUTDOOR FUN
Agreeable weather year-round inspires lots of outdoor activity. The Liberty Trail showcases Southern history, culture and ecology through places like the Midway Museum and Historic District and Dorchester Academy and Museum. The Colonial Coast Birding Trail travels through salt marshes, tidal rivers and wetlands that are native habitats for more than 300 species of birds. Play a round at coastal gems like the Fred Couplesdesigned Golf Club at Sanctuary Cove in Waverly and Savannah's Rees Jones-

architected Southbridge Golf Club. Itching for action? Take a beach jog at dawn, canoe through hidden tidal inlets or tackle the surf on a boogie board.
SAVANNAH , GEORGlA'S OLDEST CITY
Twenty-one of James Oglethorpe's original 24 city squares exist today, each a unique embodiment of the historic town's pervading mystique and romance. Stroll down cobblestoned, oak-lined streets of graceful mansions to Forsyth Park. Grab a bite at Clary's Cafe, a long-standing Savannah establishment and the "diner" featured in the movie Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil. Enjoy a great cup of joe, delectable desserts and unusual artwork at Gallery Espresso on Bull Street. Shop and sightsee at Riverfront Plaza, City Market and newly revitalized Broughton Street; visit Girl Scouts founder Juliette Gordon Low's birthplace; and explore Bonaventure Cemetery and other spirited haunts on evening ghost tours. Enjoy spirits of another kind during the city's famou s St. Patrick's Day celebration, which includes a parade, dyed-green grits and more.

A LIVI NG LEGACY
The deep impact of African-American culture is abundantly evident throughout the coastal region, and a number of professionally organized itineraries are available for comprehensive tours of area resources. The Geechee Kunda Cultural Arts Center in Riceboro is dedicated to the exploration and preservation of the living Gullah Geechee heritage prevalent along the coast. Explore other important aspects of African-American history at Brunswick's Hofwyl-Broadfield Plantation, Reynolds Mansion on Sapelo Island and communities such as Hog Hammock where direct descendants of African slaves carry on cultural traditions. Savannah's acclaimed Ralph Mark Gilbert Civil Rights Museum, housed in what was once the largest black-run bank in America, and First African Baptist Church afford important insight into the legacy of black Southerners; postCivil War life in a town of freed slaves is dramatically brought to life at Seabrook Village in Midway.
BRUNSWICKAND THE GOLDEN ISLES
Between Savannah and St. Marys is the coastal town of Brunswick and the enchanting Golden Isles: Little St. Simons Island, Sea Island, St. Simons Island and Jekyll Island. Taking center stage this year is the highly anticipated Georgia Sea Turtle Center on Jekyll Island. Dedicated to the preservation of the endangered maritime species, the center features state-of-the-art rehabili-

Sapelo Island and St. Simons Island are open to the public for touring and climbing. Restored outbuildings and Keeper's Quarters accompany the Tybee Island and St. Simons Island lighthouses, and both feature a museum and gift shop. The lighthouse on Cockspur Island is now lit for the first time in nearly 100 years and , while open to the public, is accessible only by boat. The Little Cumberland Island Lighthouse, privately owned and not open to the public, can be viewed from afar.

tation and surgical services, educational exhibits, and a variety of guided beach walks and turtle monitoring programs to engage the public in protection efforts. Indulge in a stay at the exclusive Jekyll Island Club Hotel, The Cloister at Sea Island, the King and Prince Beach & Golf Resort on St. Simons Island or a private getaway to the Lodge on Little St. Simons Island. Back on the mainland, stroll through Brunswick's residential Old Town Historic District and peruse antique shops, restaurants, art galleries and the downtown waterfront park.

FORTIFIED
Seven historic forts tell the history of Georgia's coastal defense system. Old Fort Jackson and Fort Pulaski were primarily Civil War garrisons, and Fort McAllister boasts the most well-preserved Confederate earthworks. Darien's

BEGUILING BEACONS
Georgia 's coast features five historic lighthouses. Those on Tybee Island,

GEORGIAORG 1-800-VISIT GA

Official Georgia Travel Guide 67

Fort King George was the southernmost outpost of the British Empire until 1736, and surviving Revolutionary War earthworks can be seen at Fort Morris. Tybee Island's Fort Screven, active until 1947, was a key part of Georgia's coastal defense through the SpanishAmerican War and both world wars. St. Simons Island is home to the remnants of Fort Frederica, a tabby garrison built by James Oglethorpe in 1736.
RECIPES FOR FUN
Dive into local cuisine at any of the myriad festivals celebrating coastal culinary delights. Fill up at Kingsland's Catfish Festival, Richmond Hill's Great Ogeechee Seafood Festival, the Brunswick Rockin' Stewbilee, Woodbine 's Crawfish Festival, the Rock Shrimp Festival in St. Marys and the Savannah Seafood Festival. Plenty of restaurants also serve up regional favorites year-round. Take in beautiful Waycross from Pond View Downtown as you savor their famous crab cakes. If you prefer catfish , head to Steffen's Family Restaurant in Kingsland . In Savannah, visit famed Paula Deen's The Lady & Sons, or go to Tybee Island's The Crab Shack, where the "elite eat in their bare feet." To get the full feel of laid-back coastal life in Brunswick, enjoy a great seafood dinner on the water at Mudcat Charlie's.

travel this main route to and from Florida. Train watchers can spread out on the grounds of Folkston's renovated depot or head across the double tracks to the covered platform complete with lights, fans and scanner. The action continues at Savannah's Roundhouse Railroad Museum, the oldest and largest exi sting 19th-century railroad complex in America . Exciting plans are in the works to further enhance the Roundhouse exhibit facilities. Across the street is the historic Central of Georgia passenger depot, now the Savannah Visitors Center, and two other beautifully restored railroad administration buildings now owned by Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD).
FEELING SWAMPED
The Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge, established in 1936 to preserve the 438,000-acre swamp and its unique habitats, is home to cypress trees, carnivorous pitcher plants and bladderworts, alligators, and endangered animals such as the red-cockaded woodpecker, American bald eagle and

the wood stork. Fire, a critical component of the ecosystems' survival, sweeps the area in cycles, clearing out invasive underbrush and renewing indigenous habitat. Main access points and visitor services can be found at Waycross' Okefenokee Swamp Park, Stephen C. Foster State Park in Fargo, and Folkston 's Gateway to the Okefenokee Swamp. Celebrate "the land of trembling earth" at Waycross' Swampfest and Folkston's Okefenokee Festival, or follow the Okefenokee Trail by car.
HALLS OF KNOWLEDGE
Created in honor of the great World War II air armada, the awe-inspiring Mighty Eighth Air Force Museum in Pooler allows visitors to see original aircraft, experience the challenges of a B-17 gunner, and take a mission flight over enemy territory in a state-of-theart immersion theater. Seven galleries and touch tanks in the new Maritime Center at the Historic Coast Guard Station on St. Simons Isla nd offer hands-on education about the creation and preservation of Georgia's barrier islands as well as highlights from the area's military and maritime history. The St. Marys Submarine Museum offers visitors a chance to sit at the helm of one of the giant vessels, and Savannah's Ships of the Sea Maritime Museum features detailed models of sail steamers, tug boats, warships and supertankers.

of the state is a natural quilt of towering pines, shimmering lakes, sweeping fields and vivid gardens stitched together by deep blue rivers. Small towns with historic courthouse squares, rambling country estates with centuries~old secrets, and lively downtown arts and entertainment districts compel travelers to stop and stay awhile.
FRESH AIR
Six state parks, numerous wildlife management areas and county parks make it easy to get away from it all and reconnect with nature or enjoy a host of action-packed outdoor activities. Scenic trails include the Bartram Trail , which chronicles botanist William Bartram's 1773 trek up the Savannah River. Georgia's portion of the Woodpecker Trail, one of the first scenic highways in the U.S., begins in Augusta and meanders along Highway 25/121 South, letting you venture through the "Real Georgia." Hike the boardwalks or take a moonlight swamp tour at Phinizy Swamp Nature Park in Augusta, or get your adrenaline pumping on the ATVs at Union Point's Durhamtown Plantation. Hook up on the latest gear at the War-

ren County Sportsman's Festival or see the annual Georgia Field Trials held at Di-Lane Plantation in Waynesboro, the "Bird Dog Capital of the World." Luxurious spa treatments, hunting and fishing opportunities, fine dining, unique cottages and a magnificent lodge make Flat Creek Lodge in Swainsboro a popular destination.
UNBRIDLED EXCITEMENT
The Classic South offers unique equestrian experiences that visitors can enjoy year-round. The Augusta Futurity brings the Wild West to the South in January for a 10-day extravaganza that's hailed as the largest cutting horse event east of the Mississippi. For a horse of a different color, check out Hilltop Stables at Fort Gordon's Army Base, or saddle up and hit the trails at the Gunn/ Stewart Trail Ride in Warrenton or the Terry Tankersley Memorial Ride at Bussey Point Recreation Area in Lincoln County. Celebrate the "Blessing of the Hounds" at Thomson 's Belle Meade Fox Hunt with a ride on the tally ho wagon, watching beautiful hounds and horses run through the magnificent

ABOV PAR
While Augusta is recognized worldwide as home of the Masters, the entire region features an array of championship courses providing scenic, challenging golf for players of all skill levels. The Ritz-Carlton Lodge, Reynolds Plantation; Harbor Club; and Reynolds Landing , all located along the beautiful shores of Lake Oconee in Greensboro, are known as a golfer's paradise, featuring a combined 117 championship holes of golf. There are more than 24 public and semi-private courses throughout the region including Bartram Trail and Jones Creek in Evans, Goshen Plantation and Forrest Hills in Augusta, Thomson's Belle Meade Country Club and Rocky Branch Golf Course in Lincolnton.

lie 1810 Country Inn and Winery blends the beautiful countryside with the history of an 1810 country inn. Swainsboro's quaint Edenfield House Inn and the vivacious Queen Anne-style Coleman House Inn combine well-appointed private rooms with ample gathering spaces such as parlors, gardens and wide front porches. Escape to a cozy cabin in one of the state parks in the Classic South region including Mistletoe, Elijah Clark, George L. Smith and Magnolia Springs.
A SHORE THING
Boasting more than 1,200 miles of shoreline, there is no shortage of aquatic activities at Clarks Hill Lake, where anglers, boaters, water skiers and swimmers have plenty of room to spread out and have fun. Known as the "best top-water lake in the Southeast,"

Clarks Hill Lake has served as the headquarters for such elite fishing tournaments as the BASS/ ESPN BassMaster Elite Series and several BFL Tourna ments. Lake Oconee in Greene County offers 400 miles of shoreline featuring camping and all types of outdoor recreational opportunities as well as some of the finest golf resorts in Georgia. The McDuffie Public Fishing Area is loaded with largemouth bass, bluegill and channel catfish just waiting to bite your hook. Find that special spot along the Oconee or Ogeechee rivers to catch bream, crappie and American shad. For three days in July, the Augusta Southern Nationals, touted as the world 's richest drag boat competition, makes major waves on the Savannah River. For a more serene river experience, cruise the idyllic Augusta Canal in a replica Petersburg boat or savor the stunning view of its headgates from the Savannah Rapids Pavilion in Columbia County.
WAR BETWEEN THE STA ES
Delve into history along two of the region 's Civil War Heritage Trails: Sherman's March to the Sea and Jefferson Davis' Flight. In Augusta, visit Magnolia Cemetery, the final resting place for hundreds of soldiers and seven generals, and the landmark Confederate Powder Works Chimney, a towering obelisk

Stephens Historic Park in Crawfordville, the fully restored home of the vice president of the Confederacy, for whom the park is named , is open for tours, and the accompanying Confederate museum boasts a highly acclaimed collection of Civil War artifacts. The Brown House in Sandersville is where Sherman established Un ion headquarters during his March to the Sea. Magnolia Springs State Park near Millen is the former site of Camp Lawton, where POWs were housed during the war. And, according to Southern lore, gold from the Confederate treasury disappeared from a guarded wagon train at Chennault Plantation in Lincoln County while on its way to Washington, where the last meeting of the Confederate Treasury was held.

ARRESTING NATURAL FEATURES border prehistoric archaeological sites, bustling main streets give way to serenely rolling hills, and fresh music, art and theater thrive in vibrant communities. Drawing on the ingenuity, creativity and warmth of its people and the diverse legacy ofits heritage, the Historic Heartland region revels in the celebration ofits centuries-deep roots.

FAVORITE FESTIVALS
A number of this region's festivals perennially make the list of " Top 20 Events in the Southeast." Once the buggy capital of the world, Barnesville celebrates with its yearly Buggy Days festival. Deep in the piney woods around Perry and Warner Robins, the Mossy Creek Barnyard Festival commemorates "the way things used to be" with a lively gathering of artisans and musicians. At the nearby Georgia National Fa irgrounds & Agricenter in Perry, the 11-day Georgia National Fair is a whirlwind of competitions, live music, exhibitions and circus performances. One of the state's most recognized and cherished agricultural products is honored at the Georgia Peach Festival in Byron and Fort Valley, and Macon hosts the acclaimed lnterna-

tional Cherry Blossom Festival celebrating the flowering of the city's 300,000 Yoshino cherry trees.
SECRET TREASURES
Among the region's gems are the Village at Indian Springs, Lake Oconee's Cuscowilla golf resort and Henderson

Village in Perry-cozy retreats with well-appointed cabins and suites, lush grounds, scenic hiking, miles of paved bike paths and a wealth of shopping opportunities. Another type of retreat can be found at the Monastery of the Holy Spirit outside Conyers, where the tranquil grounds and quiet Abbey Church foster contemplation and meditation. Fort Valley's Lane Southern Orchard, a fourth-generation family farm producing strawberries, 30 types of peaches and 10 types of pecans, offers tours of the orchards and views of the entire produce packing process from an elevated platform inside the warehouse. Jarrell Plantation State

GEORGIA.ORG 1-800-VISIT GA

Historic Site in Juliette features an original 1847 house and a mu ltitude of extant farm buildings including a mill, blacksmith shop and carpenter shed.
TUNEDIN
Macon is home to the Georgia Music Hall of Fame with fantastic interactive exhibits, a kid-friendly "Music Factory," and unique costumes and commentaries from the state's biggest stars. Country music fans won't want to miss the Trisha Yearwood Museum in the singer's hometown of Monticello. The 40 Watt Club in Athens is a favorite performance spot for Georgia legends R.E.M. and the B-52's. AthFest continues to cultivate the city's homegrown talent while in nearby Madison, the Lake Oconee Music Festival features toe-tapping blues, jazz and gospel.
The Golf Club at Cuscowllla, Eatonton
HARD-FOUGHT BATTLES
The region's Civil War history centers around Mi lledgeville, the state's seat of government from 1803 to 1868. The Old Capitol Building, the first public structure built in the Gothic Greek Reviva l style in the United States, was the site of the Secession Convention of 1861

and now houses Georgia's Old Capital Museum. Madison, "the town Sherman refused to burn," is recognized for its exceptionally well-preserved antebellum architecture. Macon was the site of a hosp ital for wounded troops, a Union POW camp and Findlay Iron Works, a major weapons manufacturing facility. The Union army went to Conyers to destroy the city's vital railroad system. Confederate Major

General Joseph "Fightin' Joe" Wheeler was lat er captured in Conyers. The Battle of Griswoldville took place in the fields near Clinton, and multiple sites in and around Athens are featured on the Heartland of the Confederacy Trail.
HOT ON THE TRAIL
An exciting new addition to the trails list is the Heritage Art Loop, a route showcasing exceptional artists, galleries and shops in a multicounty area between Athens and Lake Oconee. Watkinsville, Bishop, Farmington and Madison are just a few of the stops on this loop. The Antebellum Trail between Athens and Macon highlights a variety of architectural gems, including romantic white-columned mansions like Lockerly Hall and the Old Governor's Mansion in Milledgeville. Explore quaint downtown
communities like Conyers, Covington, Greensboro, Madison and Social Circle on the Treasures Along 1-20 Trail , and fo llow orchards in bloom along the
Peach Blossom Trai l through Barnesville, Byron, Forsyth, Fort Valley, Perry, Roberta and Warner Robins. The Antiques Trail, a 200-mile loop through 16 communities, presents an impressive collection of antique shops with eclectic, rare finds.

EAT, SHOP AND BE MERRY
Long recognized as a retail and restaurant hub, downtown Athens is home to the orig inal Jittery Joe's, roaster of fine coffees since 1994, and the much-anticipated new Terrapin Brewery. Watkinsville's award-winning Maison Bleu offers exquisite cuisine and fine wine in a comfortably elegant atmosphere. While in town, shop the Chappelle Gallery and Town Center Fine Art for some of the region 's most captivating handcrafted artwork. Social Circle's Blue Willow Inn is renowned for its classic Southern fare and charismatic setting. The restaurant's charm is enhanced by the introduction of Blue Willow Village, a row of quaint storefronts including a 19S0s-style soda fountain, bakery, antiques shop and Georgia Originals boutique. The famous Nu-Way Weiners first opened its doors on Cotton Avenue in Macon in 1916. Today the signature chilidogs, MegaBurgers and home-style breakfast platters are available at multiple locations throughout Macon, Warner Robins and Fort Valley. In Juliette, site of the movie

Fried Green Tomatoes, you can dine at The Whistle Stop Cafe and shop for movie memorabilia.
DEEP ROOTS
Native American culture and black history play essential roles in the region's rich heritage. Rock Eagle Mound, a spreading eagle effigy constructed of chunks of quartzite, remains shrouded in mystery but may have been built by Creeks near what is now Eatonton. A prized testament to Creek and earlier

indigenous peoples is Macon's Ocmulgee National Monument, where ancient burial mounds and a ceremonial earthlodge allow visitors a glimpse into more than 10,000 years of history. AfricanAmerican landmarks in Macon include the Tubman African-American Museum, where ancient works of African art rub shoulders with contemporary folk art and historical photographs, and the historic Douglass Theatre, once the premier movie and performance venue in the city open to blacks. The Morton Theatre in Athens is at the heart of what was once the black business section of town, and Madison is home to the Morgan County African American Museum, where local and regional legacies are displayed.
CULTURAL CONNECTIONS
For centuries, Creek Indians prized the mineral water at what later became the resort town of Indian Springs, and today, the rehabilitated Indian Spring Hotel houses a museum with exhibits on Creek Nation culture, the resort era, and FDR's Civilian Conservation Corps. Another educational delight is the impressive col lection of post-World War II "bubble cars" at Madison 's Bruce Weiner Microcar Museum. Warner Robins' Museum of Aviation features exhibits about the Tuskegee Airmen and more than 90 aircraft, including a 19th-century glider, U-2 Dragon Lady and F-15 Eagle.

SHORT TRIP
GO ANTIQ!JING

Reconnect with Joel Chandler Harris' famous tales at the Uncle Remus Museum in Eatonton, and stop in Macon to tour the Georgia Sports Hall of Fame and the Museum of Arts and Sciences.
TAKE IT OUTSIDE
The region's four well-defined seasons and varied landscape create ample opportunities for outdoor fun yearround . Adventures abound at lakes Jackson, Oconee, Sinclair and Tobesofkee, where there are plenty of opportunit ies for fish ing, swimm ing and boating, and miles of scenic shoreline perfect for soaking up the sun. If you prefer keeping your feet on dry ground, try horseback riding, hiking, golf or camping at Hard Labor Creek, High Falls and Indian Springs state parks. Discover refresh ing nature encounters without leaving civilization at Athens' Oconee Riverwalk, Sandy Creek Nature Center and Park, or The State Botanical Garden of Georg ia. There's almost always something in bloom at the Lewis Vaughn Botanical Garden in Conyers, Milledgeville's Bartram Forest, and Massee Lane Gardens in Fort Valley. Looking for critters?

AS THE STATE'S AGRICULTURAL HEARTLAND, the
Magnolia Midlands region boasts a delectable bouncy of fresh produce, locally raised livestock and even fine wine. The region's slicing railroad tracks; rolling byways; web of red dirt roads; and countless streams, swamps and wide rivers beckon travelers to abandon the interstate in search of untold adventures.

Chauncey is home to Georgia's first public swimming pool, Jay Bird Springs, fed naturally with clean mineral water from deep underground. Make waves at Statesboro's exciting Splash in the Boro water park, which features entertaining water slides and a rela xing Lazy River. Prefer to be on the water rather than in it? The region 's nine public fishing facilities offer plenty of opportunities to reel in a whopper. A~er a day in the water, ki ck back and enjoy a first-run blockbuster under the stars at the 1950s Drive-In Theatre in Jesup.

MOUNTAIN PATHS
Northwest Georgia is renowned for its network of outdoor-adventure paths. The Pinhoti Trail, currently a system of multi-use paths spread throughout northern Georgia, aims to eventually connect the mountains of northern Alabama with the southern terminus of the Appalachian Trail at Springer Mountain. The Silver Comet Trail currently boasts 37 miles of handicap-accessible

paved track running roughly east-west between Smyrna and Rockmart. An abundance of hiking trails, from gentle to rugged, can also be found at Blue Ridge, Cloudland Canyon, Fort Mountain, Lookout Mountain and Red Top

Mountain. After a rigorous workout on the trails, head to Mulberry Gap Bunkhouse Inn and Camping in Ellijay for healthy, home-cooked meals, bunkhouse and camping accommodations, and plenty of refreshing mountain scenery. Or indulge in a luxurious private getaway at Wilderness View Cabins atop Fort Mountain.
OUT AND ABOUT
Enjoy a bird's-eye view of the region's gorgeous landscape while soaring in a hang g lider 2,000 feet in the air. Even the least experienced flyers can partake in a tandem ride with one of the highly trained professional pilots at Lookout Mountain Flight Park in Rising Fawn. Or head underground with a trip to the cave at Rolater Park in Cave Spring. Inspiring the town's name, the stalagmite-studded limestone cave features a natural spring with crisp, clean water that visitors are welcome to enjoy. Mountain biking is also very popular in this region, and experienced riders are put to the test on the Snake Creek Gap and Ridgeway trails. Or rela x and watch someone else do the hard work at a minor league Braves game in Rome.
EXCITING EXITS
The heavily beaten path of Interstate 75 is a quick and easy way to traverse Northwest Georgia. However, to truly experi ence the flavor, culture and extraord inary beauty of the region, veer off onto

Historic Coalson Plantation and Inn,
Thomasville

FROM ENTIRE CITY BLOCKS OF ANTEBELLUM HOMES to sprawling hunting plantations beneath the pines and stately mansions wrapped in elegant landscaping, the aptly named Plantation Trace region is famous for its historic treasures. But it also is rich in natural and cultural resources. What make~ the area truly extraordi~ nary is its people's sublime stewardship of their heritage, environment and creative enterprises.
PETAL POWER
Known as "The Azalea City," Valdosta bursts spectacu larly into bloom every spring, and the Aza lea Trai l showcases some of the most dazzling d isplays. Va ldosta State University's Camellia Trai l features more than 430 varieties of the beautifu l winter-bloomi ng shrub. The Crescent in Valdosta has beautiful gardens and landscaping, and Sunset Hill Cemetery is known for its gorgeous Vic torian-era displays of native and exotic pla nts. Th omasvil le is a haven of fa ntastic horticulture displays, from t he meticulously groomed grounds of plantations such as Pebble Hi ll and Coa lson, to th e hundreds of rambling roses in the city's publ ic garden near Cherokee Lake.

MAKING TRACKS
Hu nting opportunities abound in the forested estates around Albany, dubbed "the qua il hu nting cap ital of the world." A little farther south, Hickory Nut Hill Hu nti ng Preserve just o utside of Cairo and Myrtlewood Hunting Plantation near Thomasvi lle also offer qua lity sport shooting grounds. Pack a picnic and spend a day among enchanting butterflies, musical birds and other woodland creatures at Thomasville's Bird song Nature Center. Explore mysterious Blackgum Swamp and the boardwalk to Kinderlou Tower in Grand Bay W ildlife Management Area, a 13,000-acre wetlands preserve just north of Va ldosta. For water fun, the Flint River abounds with recreational opportunities, and Lake Seminole and parts of t he Chattahooc hee River are known for some of the best bass fis hi ng in t he country.
WELL-MANO RED
Thomasvi lle is a wealth of outstanding antebell um architecture, and one of its most prec ious gems is Pebble Hill Plantation. Founded in t he 1820s as a cotton p lan t ation, t he esta t e was eventually

converted into a luxury hunting retreat.

Not to be outdone, nearby Historic Coalson Plantation and Inn offers overnight guests fine dining and a chance to rela x in splendor in the heated indoor pool or outside in the lush English gardens. A number of walking and driving tours showcasing Thomasville's impressive collection of historic treasures are also available.

Southwest Georgia. Theatre Albany, housed in one of the city 's landmark antebellum buildings, offers several major productions throughout the year as well as special seasonal programs and workshops.

Quln

DID YOU KNOW? Pebble Hill Plantation is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. In the 1800s it was a cotton plantation. All of the current buildings were built after 1900 during its time as a hunting lodge.
CREATIVE COLLECTIONS
Exceptional exhibits of local, national and international artwork are displayed at the spacious Annette Howell Turner Center for the Arts in Valdosta. An East African col lection anchors the permanent gallery, and four rotating galleries keep art enthusiasts returning season after season. Another extraordinary

GEORG IA.ORG 1-8 00-VISIT GA

Georgia Dream Pass
Offi cial Georg ia Travel Guid e 191

FOLLOW THE TRAILS BLAZED by Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Jimmy Carter, or strike out on your own to explore the natural marvels of a region rich with sparkling lakes, wide rivers, steep canyons and forested hills. Discover for yourself the powerful ways in which this diverse landscape and its resilient people shaped the lives and politics of two American presidents.
LEGACY OF THE LAND
The Neel Reid and Hal Henz-designed masterpiece, Hills & Dales Estate, was the extraordinary LaGrange home of Fuller E. Callaway Sr. and his wife, Ida. Completed in 1916 on the site of the old Ferrell house, the mansion overlooks the gardens begun by Nancy and Sarah Ferrell in the mid-1800s. The Callaways expanded and elaborated on the original gardens, and eventually, the entire estate was donated to the Fuller E. Callaway Foundation for enjoyment by the public. Another family legacy is the renowned Callaway Gardens in Pine Mountain. - Virginia Hand Callaway, an avid horticulturalist, was instrumental in designing the original gardens and bringing their development to fruition. Opened to the public in 1952, the gardens still

dazzle visitors today with magnificent banks of azaleas, a butterfly sanctuary, resort-style lodging, championship golf courses and inviting lakes.
HIT THE TRAIL
Enjoy the sweeping ridge-top views and crystal-clear streams beloved by FDR while hiking the 23-mile Pine Mountain trail at F.D. Roosevelt State Park. For great fishing and boating, head to Flor-

I ,
Wild Animal Safari in Pine Mountain has nearly twice as many animals as Zoo Atlanta, with animals from all continents except Antarctica. le has the largest display of Ligers (half tiger/half lion) in the world.

ence Marina State Park on the northern end of Lake Walter F. George, where campsites and cabins provide bucolic accommodations. Perhaps the area's most unique natural feature is Providence Canyon, Georgia's "Little Grand Canyon." Hikers can skirt the canyon 's rim or delve deeper into the wilderness on backcountry trails, glimpsing rare plants and stunning soil colorations at this 1,003-acre state conservation park.
PLACES OF HISTORY
Once the eighth- largest city in Georgia, Americu s has retained a largely intact historic commercial district that hints at the town 's bustling past. The most prominent landmark is the Windsor Hotel, a sprawling Victorian gem meticulously restored to its original splendor and once again fully operational w ith a spa, luxurious dining and live entertainment.
Columbus' vibrant downtown, waterfront and rich history make it a fun city to explore year-round. Cobblestone streets beneath venerable oaks pass blocks of beautiful historic houses. The Black Heritage Trail showcases the city 's important cultural sites such as the Liberty Theatre and Horace King bridge. To the southeast, Andersonville National Historic

Site preserves the history of one of the Confederacy's largest military prisons, Camp Sumter. Built in 1864 and only operated for 14 months, the camp held 32,000 Union soldiers, nearly 13,000 of whom died from malnutrition, exposure,
disease and poor sanitation. Visitors may tour the site of the camp, the

cemetery and the collection of memorials dedicated by different states.
PLAINS
The Jimmy Carter National Historic Site is based at Plains High School, the building in wh ich Carter and his wife Rosalynn received their elementary and high school educations. The rehabilitated building houses the site's visitor center and museum , highlighting aspects of study that influenced the Carters long after they graduated. Carter used
the town's oldest building, the 1888 depot, as his 1976 campaign headquarters, and today it showcases memorabilia, political strategies and artifacts from that period. Carter's Boyhood Home and Farm, on lS of its original 360
acres two miles away in Archery, is open for touring, and recorded narra-
tions by Carter himself highlight certain points of interest.
A FLAIR FOR FUN
For hands-on wildlife adventures, visit the Oxbow Meadows Environmental Learning Center at Columbus State University, or

GEORGIA.ORG 1-800-VISIT GA

Official Georgia Travel Guide 193

drive through Pine Mountain's 500acre Wild Animal Safari, where exotic creatures are close enough to touch. In Lumpkin, experience life of a bygone era at Westville, a living history village reminiscent of those scattered across the region in the 1850s. There 's always plenty to see and do along Columbus 16-mile Columbus RiverWalk. Or enjoy some indoor entertainment with a show at the beautifully restored 19thcentury Springer Opera House, one of Columbus' most cherished historic landmarks, or an exciting international act at the city's RiverCenter for the Performing Arts.
WARM SPRINGS AND THE LITTLE WHITE HOUSE
Just as Franklin D. Roosevelt certainly left a lasting legacy in the town of Warm Springs, so too did the town and its people make a profound impression on FDR. Roosevelt 's personal experiences at the Little White House tremendously influenced his political decisions during a critical time in America 's history. Some of his most innovative employment tactics during the Depression were inspired by his interactions with the people eking out a living across rural West Georgia. The Little White House provides informative, colorful and sometimes heartwrenching insights into the man and the legacy. A film narrated by Walter

Cronkite sets the historical stage for the museum's exhibits, and guests are free to tour the Little White House, wander the lush grounds and visit the naturally warm pools where FDR found therapy for body and soul.
RIDE THE RAlLS
One of the most unique ways to tour the region is aboard the SAM Shortline Railroad. The train runs between Cordele and Archery, and passengers may board at several stations along the way. Points of interest include the towns of Cordele, Le slie, Americus, Plain s and Archery, which offer chances to par-

take of fun shopping, antiquing and sight-seeing as well as plenty of homecooked Southern cuisine. A stop at Georgia Veterans Memorial State Park affords a visit to Lake Blackshear, where resort accommodations, championship golf and a number of trails perfect for hiking and nature-watching make it a great getaway destination. Check the railway's itinerary often because the SAM Shortline offers a variety of different runs, including special excursions, throughout the year.
EXTRAORDINARY EXHIBITS
Americus is the birthplace and headquarters of Habitat for Humanity International, and visitors can explore replicas of houses built all over the world at Habitat's Global Village and Discovery Center. As a national memorial to all American prisoners of war, Andersonvil le's National Prisoner of War Museum powerfully brings to life the experiences of war captives through oral recordings, letters, films and artifacts. In Columbus, make amazing discoveries at the Coca-Cola Space Science Center and view timeless pieces of art at the Columbus Museum. History buffs and

194 Official Georgia Travel Guide

GEORGIA.ORG 1-800-VISIT GA

military enthusiasts won't want to miss the National Civil War Naval Museum at Port Columbus or Fort Benning's compelling National Infantry Museum.
TEE PARTY
Beautiful scenery and a surprisingly varied topography make for an exciting range of golfing challenges. Cordele's Georgia Vets Memorial Course hugs the shores of Lake Blackshear, while Ironwood Golf Course incorporates brooks, small ponds and other natural features. The Overlook Golf Links in LaGrange has a links-style layout featuring four lakes and a distinctly Scottish feel. Warm Springs is home to the Roosevelt Memorial Golf Course, thought to be the only nine-hole Donald Ross-designed course in Georgia. In addition to its highly rated West Course, Columbus' Bull Creek Golf Club features a public teaching center run by Mark lmmelman, brother of PGA Tour player Trevor lmmelman. Callaway Gardens' three golf courses are great for players of varying skills and ages. Each course's well-groomed greens and beautiful surroundings make for a magical day of golf.

TRAVEL
TIPS

AIRPORTS
Hartsfield-Jackson Atla nta International Airport (atlanta-airport.com) is the busiest airport in the world. Despite that, it is generally easy to navigate your way through if you watch for signs. When you are departing to return home, be sure to arrive two hours before you r f light. This w ill help ensure you have enough time t o check in, get throug h security and board the p lane. You can also check security wait t imes on the airport's websit e. However, keep in mind th ese times may change before you arrive.
Savannah/ Hilto n Head Internatio nal A irport (savanna hairport.com) is another key Georgia airport. Other state airports may also be used for connecting flights.

MARTA (M etro Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority)
If you will be staying in the Atlanta area, the city's transit system can save you time and money. The train system goes across t he city, north, south, east and west. Bus serv ice is also available. You can find more information about MARTA and its routes and stations on itsmarta.com.
TAXIS
Ta xis are easily obtained at the Atlanta airport and at most hotels. If you are in the Atlanta area, restaurants and hotels ca n call a cab for you. Otherwise, keep a ta xi cab's pho ne number with you at all times. The cab companies vary by area, so these phone numbers are best obtained at your hotel.
D RIVING
The speed limit in most residential areas is 35 mph; on most interstates and highways it is 55 mph-but make sure to look for speed lim it signs in the area in which you 're driving. Always make sure your seat belt is buckled, because in Georgia it is against the law to drive without a seat belt. Georgia laws also require drivers to turn on their lights when driving in the rain.
