Nest takes you back to the Victorian world of author Joel Chandler Harris.
Experience life as it was in Atlanta’s West End at the turn of the 20th
century.
Dahlonega Gold Museum - Dahlonega
The Museum, once the old Lumpkin County Court House, is the oldest public
building in North Georgia. After Benjamin Parks discovered gold in this area
while deer hunting in 1828, thousands of gold seekers flocked to this part of
Georgia, beginning the nation’s first major gold rush. The museum houses old
mining equipment, artifacts, and historical information. Look closely for the
flecks of gold in the building’s bricks!
Andersonville National Historic Site - Andersonville
Andersonville was one of the largest of the Confederate military prisons
established during the Civil War. It was built early in 1864. More than 45,000
Union soldiers were confined here. Almost 13,000 men died from disease,
malnutrition, overcrowding, or exposure to the elements. Today, it serves as a
memorial to all American prisoners of war.
