Georgia - The Peach State
Interactive Map, Video Clips, Pictures


In 1829, gold was discovered in the north Georgia mountains, resulting in the Georgia Gold Rush leading to the establishment of a federal mint in Dahlonega that continued operation until 1861. The influx of white settlers put pressure on the government to take land from the Cherokee Nation. In 1830, the Indian Removal Act was signed into law. This resulting in sending all eastern native tribes to reservations in present-day Oklahoma.

Georgia: One of our favorite states and has been visited often. After our snow-birding in Florida for the winter, the annual trek back has a designated stop in Savannah to taste some of their shrimp plates in the historic area. Taking the trolley there was really a good decision.
Georgia has other interests also that we enjoy, like watching baseball in Atlanta, and that rare opportunity to attend the Masters in Augusta, will always remain as a personal highlight of places visited.
The drive on Interstate 95 thru the State is not that long, but it gives a good perspective of most of the states geography.

Internet Links attempt to provide you with links to area highlights in
Marietta where homes had been built by early settlers near the Cherokee town of Big Shanty , or
Atlanta which is considered to be a top business city and is a primary transportation hub of the S-E US, or
