United States, Georgia, Johnson County, 32.70146, -82.66008Seibert, David, 1941-20201996/2014Location: U.S 221/Ga. 171 at the Jefferson-Johnson County lineText of marker: "OLD SUNBURY ROAD. The highway crosses at this point the former course of the Sunbury road, one of the longest vehicular thoroughfares of post-reolutionary Georgia. It was laid out in the early 1790's from Greensboro via today's Sparta and Swainsboro to Sunbury, a port on the Midway River in Libery County. The Jefferson and Johnson county line follows this early route. The old way lost arterial significance when Sunbury, once a leading port, declined in commercial importance. From northern Emanuel county southward, much of the way remains in daily use. 083-2 GEORGIA HISTORICAL COMMISSION 1956"image/jpegenghttp://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC-EDU/1.0/Historical markers--Georgia--Johnson CountyRoads--GeorgiaOld Sunbury Road historical markerStillImage
