Founded in 1829 and expanded in 1877, Live Oak Cemetery features many original markers. It is a contributing property to the Selma Historic District on the National Register of Historic Places. It’s noted for the dozen or so Victorian monuments in the cemetery. It earned its name after Colonel Dawson donated 80 Live Oaks and 80 Magnolia trees to be planted in the cemetery.
Built for the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, the 21-acre park served as a gathering spot for many activities during the Olympics. After the Olympics, the park now serves as the centerpiece for many activities, such as parades, concerts, fairs, and protests. When events are not happening, people gather to enjoy the dancing water fountains and other activities surrounding the park.
If you drive down 441 between Morgan and Putnam Counties, you’ve likely noticed this farmhouse in the middle of a field. Every time I pass, it seems to have lost just a bit more from the roof and siding.
One of my favorite spots to drive by in Hancock County, Georgia. This mill has been in use for 200 years.
