  • ☞ 👀 If you are traveling in Georgia stop and see what #Dahlonega has to offer. Great little town square with shops and restaurants with Live music. Take a walk around the town square and see the museum. You can learn a lot about the #GoldRush and how Dahlonega was so rich with gold that you could find it just laying on the ground in areas. This is a great day trip location as you plan your RV Travels or just want something interesting to go see.

    I have family in Dahlonega, I was actually there this past weekend from Philadelphia. I’m 31 now, but started elementary school at Long Branch Elementary way back in 1996. Being back there this weekend, this small town has REALLY grown! Holy crap! But to be technical, Dahlonega was the home of the 2nd gold rush in the US! In fact, you can still find gold in the steam behind my grandparents back yard. My cousins and I would pan for it as kids!

    Another little tidbit is that there is a tiny amount of gold in the streets, where they used local gravels to make them. :)
    You could also go to Helen Georgia, which another tourist town in the Bavarian style.

    So much history in Georgia ! (Todd history too) The state capitol building, covered in Dahlonega gold, is always a nice touch when you whiz thru Atlanta (commissioned in 1958) Great Sheila tip, I left a size 5 leather Kids while spelunking, so always have your hiking boots
    Mining would be a great rally activity. My girl scouts & my children have always found some great gems throughout the decades. Thanks for taking us along, and yes, see Dahlonega at Christmas (with all the lights & snacks )

I wouldn't be surprised if Lumpkin county is another county that get sat it on the Metro Atlanta map just like Dawson

    They closed a native site in the Chattahoochee national forest a few years ago.
    The rumor was, they discovered a vein of gold ore (locally the purity of the gold is almost 100%) so they wanted people kept away while they dug up all the gold and concealed the evidence.
    The native site was built in the style of the Mayans. That's actually quite common here in Georgia.
    The local Indian languages have 50% shared loan words with Mayan.
    Some researchers believe that the gold of the Mayans and Aztecs (that Spain eventually stole) came from Dahlonega, GA.
    Dahlonega used to be a fringe of the empire mining colony of the Mayans.
