We’d like to close out February by looking forward to spring and summer. Spring is certainly not fully here although it has teased us a bit in recent weeks. The forecast is pretty clear that next week will not be springlike, at least not in North Georgia.

March is always tricky and should never be trusted as winter and spring tend to swap out and it is possible to experience both, perhaps even in the same day. However, by the end of March, it will likely be springtime.

Spring and summer mean adventures, small and large. So we are sharing some of our favorites from our YouTube channel.

At the southern edge of Chickamauga Battlefield, just off US 27, you’ll find Lee & Gordon’s Mills. This location played several roles in the bloodiest two day battle of the war. The beautiful setting, historic significance, and rustic architecture make it a great spot for anything from a quick sightseeing visit to a wedding venue.

The home of Revolutionary War General and First President of the United States George Washington remains a bustling and active center of historic preservation and living history demonstration. It’s a must-see when in Northern Virginia.

Folkston, in Charlton County, is on the major thoroughfare for train traffic going between Georgia and Florida. As lines in both states merge and funnel trains in both directions Folkston becomes a destination for train aficionados. The viewing platform is there just for such visitors.

To outsiders, Ft. Moultrie lives in the shadow of her more famous sister across the harbor, Ft. Sumter. For South Carolinans, Moultrie is where the British cannonballs bounced off the spongy palmetto trunks that made the walls of the original Moultrie and gave the state its iconic emblem that remains on their state flag to this day. Visitors to the fort have the option to pause and take in the sounds of the bells of the nearby Catholic church as they float through the coastal breeze.

Ft Pulaski was built to guard the mouth of the Savannah River. For over 100 years the post served as a military installation different eras contributed different renovations and additions, including the demilune.

Below the surface, Ft McAllister was an impervious fortification where troops were well protected from any shipboard weapons of its era. No artillery assault could defeat it. Only a infantry charge by an overwhelming force defeated the McAllister garrison.

Above the surface, Ft McAllister is one of the most beautiful locations in all of Georgia. With living history encampments and re-enactments as well as car shows, musical performances, and other events, McAllister is a great destination for a day trip or even a week at the cottages or campground.

Milledgeville served as the state capital from 1807 to 1868. Now the Old Capitol Museum tells the story of that era, when a city specifically designed and planned to be the state capital served in that capacity.

Milledgeville received the entirety of the state administration, treasury and documents, via a convoy of 15 wagons that travelled from Louisville to Milledgeville in 1807. The seat of a larger government moved to a larger city, the resurrecting Atlanta in 1868.

Any history fanatic has to visit Colonial Williamsburg. Seeing the militia demonstrations on the town green are but one of the amazing experiences that await.
