Members will tour the historic property known as Smithonia Farm. James Monroe Smith was a sharecropper in the 1880's and owned the largest plantation in GA. The current owners will show you their 1905 brick barn known as The Commissary and the property they have restored. The goal of 30 years has been to move away from this shameful part of our history and create a place that enhances the beauty of this area.

Roger presents a fascinating program on the history of the land the State Botanical Garden occupies as well as the surrounding nearly 2,000 acres. The narrative spans 250 years from when William Bartram viewed the North Oconee River in 1773 to the creation of the Botanical Garden in Athens. He will share information about the three generations of the White family who owned the land. This is the family that created the mill village of Whitehall. You will learn how the property eventually came to be a part of UGA.

This course will explore the 18th-century botanist and artist William Bartram's journey through the southern Appalachians in May of 1775, along with Bartram's life and historical significance. Bartram is considered America's first environmentalist, and his 1791 publication, Travels, provides us with one of the only ecological and cultural portrayals of the southern landscape on the eve of the American Revolution. It was highly influential in the early 19th-century Romantic literary world. We will also discuss the 112-mile long Bartram Trail and its many notable features and botanical highlights.

From 1820 to 1970, many Athenians lived above Hancock Ave downtown in homes ranging from small cottages to impressive mansions mostly dating to the 19th century. In the 1960s this vibrant neighborhood was swept away in Athens' largest urban renewal project, clearing hundreds of buildings between Pulaski and the Oconee River from Hancock to the CSX tracks. Drawing on extensive photographs and documents in the Hargrett Library, Athens Magic Lantern will lead you on a virtual stroll through what were some of the oldest residential streets in Athens, revealing a way of life that just isn't the same as Greek Revival Cobbham.
