Georgia: Gold City
ga history . Georgia State Parks . Highlands Region . Museums Article
As part of our Georgia history studies, we headed to “Gold City”, Dahlonega. While there we visited the diving bell, ate lunch at a great restaurant, explored the Dahlonega Gold Museum Historic Site and panned for gold and toured a gold mine at the Consolidated Gold Mines.
Not only was it a fun day trip, but we learned a lot about the history of gold mining in Georgia and how it affected not only the Cherokee Indians but the environment as well.
