Sidney's Salon w/ Jennifer Dickey - "There's Lots to See in Georgia"

Jennifer Dickey is a professor of history and the coordinator of museums and the public history programs at Kennesaw State University, preservation consultant, and the author of There's Lots to See in Georgia, as well as A Tough Little Patch of History: "Gone with the Wind" and the Politics of Memory and coauthor of Museums in a Global Context and the award-winning Memories of the Mansion: The History of Georgia’s Governor’s Mansion.

There's Lots to See in Georgia provides a history of the Peach State's state historic sites, including a brief history of each site, the process by which the sites were preserved or restored and became part of the state historic site system, and information to guide visitors as they tour each site.

The sixteen sites featured in this book capture more than fifteen hundred years of history of the place we now call Georgia, from the Woodland era through the mid-twentieth century. Included are Native American sites from the Woodland, Mississippian, and Cherokee periods, colonial-era sites, frontier settlement sites, antebellum plantations, Civil War sites, and a presidential retreat. No other book offers such comprehensive coverage of all the historic sites owned and operated by the state of Georgia.

Registration is encouraged, as seats are limited! We will serve light refreshments at 5:30, and the presentation will begin at 6:00.
