A couple of weeks ago I made a trip to North Georgia to visit the Foxfire Museum. Normally we think of a museum as being a large building, with artifacts from a particular period of time. But this museum, sits on the side of a mountain, and is comprised of many buildings. Each old building houses a particular artifact from past periods, going back to the seventeen hundreds. I wrote about my trip in a previous article, but had more to write about it, and it follows.
Yesterday, I had a wonderful trip with my grandchildren and daughter in law to the North Georgia Mountains. We went to the area of Clayton, Mountain City, and Dillard, Georgia. Close to the North Carolina border.
It was breath-taking scenery from Gainesville going past Tallulah Falls and seeing the awesome sight of the beauty of the mountain region at the foot-hills of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
I’m excited about attending a Foxfire Living History event in Rabun County on April 17th.
For those who may not be familiar with the book, “Foxfire,” you are missing a wonderful experience. It’s all about life in the mountains of North Georgia, in Rabun County, in the late 1800’s and early part of the twentieth century. It describes how they lived and survived in the last Great Depression.
