Scholarly presentations will concern:

  • various environmental changes in the landscape and animal life of Georgia.
  • developments that stimulated Georgia’s economic growth such as the marble industry, the parks system and the Blue Ridge Parkway.

A brief question-and-answer session will follow each presentation.

Breaks will be sponsored by the Friends of Georgia Archives and History, including a pizza lunch for a cash donation.

Other options include bringing your own lunch.
