April 6, 2013 Picnic

Our annual picnic was held at the Benjamin P. and Caroline E. Hulsey Brown house site located on FS road 92B just across from the old road to Ayersville and the Pumping Station/Sellers road.
During the outing volunteers visited the Brown baby graves located just beyond the house site and also the nearby waterfalls. Volunteers that worked 20 or more hours through the months of October and April received the following, an annual pass to several locations of the Chatahoochee-Oconee National Forest and a forest service volunteer T-shirt.
Volunteers were also given information about the surrounding areas from Pearl Wilson. None of the local history of this area would have been known or discovered if it wasn't for all the hard work and dedication by Pearl Wilson. She has 32 plus years under her belt for discovering the local areas and known house sites. Pearl has traveled across many counties in the state of Georgia and also other states volunteering her time with the forest service and Archeologist. Our next tours will begin again in October.
