product description

Description

There's Lots to See in Georgia provides a history of the Peach State's state historic sites, including a brief history of each site, the process by which the sites were preserved or restored and became part of the state historic site system, and information to guide visitors as they tour each site.

The sixteen sites featured in this book capture more than fifteen hundred years of history of the place we now call Georgia, from the Woodland era through the mid-twentieth century. Included are Native American sites from the Woodland, Mississippian, and Cherokee periods, colonial-era sites, frontier settlement sites, antebellum plantations, Civil War sites, and a presidential retreat. No other book offers such comprehensive coverage of all the historic sites owned and operated by the state of Georgia.
