With profound regret, we wish to announce the death of our good friend, and longtime Historical Society member, Larry D. Scott. Attached is Larry's obituary from the Anderson-Underwood Funeral Home. https://www.andersonunderwood.com/obituary/larry-scott
The NGAC band circa 1917 on the drill field.
One of our viewers asked a question last evening about how I was able to locate some of the obituaries and other news clippings. This is the link to the Georgia Historic newspapers site. https://gahistoricnewspapers.galileo.usg.edu/
This grainy photo is the only known picture of the original Dahlonega Academy which was built in 1835. It was taken prior to the school being torn down in 1911.
We took advantage of the nice weather on Tuesday to take a drive over to visit the old Whelchel or Hickory Grove Cemetery. The last time we went out, it was in the late spring and everything was overgrown. sadly, the cemetery has been neglected for some time now and nature is reclaiming it.
For all the "Boomers" here is a look back 50 years ago.... Here are some of the ads in the Dahlonega Nugget and what was playing at the Holly Theater during Christmas 1970.
No, we haven't had any snow yet, but it sure is pretty when we do have snow days in the mountains.
