We spent a beautiful Saturday in nearby historic Dahlonega, Georgia. We started out the day introducing geocaching to some friends in a new park there, and enjoyed hiking and the great weather.
Later we continued to look for geocaches, several of which were in the downtown Dahlonega area, so we mingled with the many tourists and enjoyed the day.
Dahlonega is the site of the first gold rush in the USA, when Benjamin Parks discovered gold here in 1828.
The Dahlonega Historic Commercial District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places is located on the Public Square of Dahlonega, established in 1833... more here.
