Georgia's Antebellum Trail的点评

点评：Georgia's Antebellum Trail is a three-day, 100-mile trek through seven historic communities that escaped Union General William Tecumseh Sherman's devastating "March to the Sea" that cut a 60-mile-wide path of destruction from Atlanta to Savannah in 1864. It got its start in 1984 when students at the University of Georgia in Athens suggested bringing together a string of seven small cities and towns to promote their common history, among the only communities that Sherman spared. The tour begins in Athens, home to several stately Greek Revival houses and the world's only double-barreled cannon. Built during the Civil War, it was meant to simultaneously fire two cannon balls chained together. But the chain broke during a test firing and the only things the cannon succeeded in destroying was a slave cabin and some livestock. Next stop is Watkinsville, then Madison, said to be one of the best preserved antebellum towns in the South with more than 45 antebellum houses, including Boxwood, Heritage Hall and the Stokes-McHenry House. Then on to Eatonton and the Gatewood Mansion and Old Clinton with its tree-shrouded lanes, the old state capital of Milledgeville and the Old Governor's Mansion, a National Historic Landmark considered to be one of the most perfect examples of Greek Revival architecture in America, and Macon with its many antebellum homes and the Tubman African American Museum. What a visitor learns along the way is the people take immense pride maintaining their links to the past.
