Everyone, I would like to introduce one of my best friends Mark Pollard who is also the Henry County Civil War Historian. We have work together on so many projects over the years I could not begin to count the number. I actually took him to the Civil War Show at the Cobb Civic Center, and he being a captive guest agreed to be interviewed. It was either that or walk home, so…. he was glad to talk. In this episode we cover the Nash Farm Battlefield and the last battles of the Atlanta campaign of the War Between the States.

Please visit the Nash Farm in person or online. I am the Web Master for that site and also serve on the Board of the Friends of Nash Farm. We are very proud of what we have (a pristine Battlefield) and all that we have accomplished. For more information and tours visit http://henrycountybattlefield.com/ . We would love to have you. If your in the area and it is at all possible I'll do the tour with ya.

Each year all over the country vacationer’s and history buffs travel the United States. In many of these towns, cities and parishes lies a historical home that prompts visitors to come in, look around and see what life was like in the olden days. Behind the doors of these places we are allowed to go back in time and take a glimpse of who the people were, learn about the families and see what is was like not to have a TV or a computer.

This week we focus on the historical part of travel and invite you to come along with us. We traveled to Historic Washington, Georgia in Wilkes County to tour a very grand old home/museum and see a great collection of artifacts from a day gone by, among them there are 21 hand painted movie posters that were on display at the famous Lowes Grand Theater.

We had a great tour and learned a lot from the first county in Georgia, but we invite you to explore all of our small communities though out the U.S., the stories there are real and the artifacts are real. What better way to learn our heritage than to hold a little of the past in your hands?
