Union County Georgia Old Courthouse, now a History Museum


The old Union County Courthouse in Blairsville, Ga., is now a Union County History Museum and the court room is for concerts, mostly bluegrass.

A nice little eccentric restaurant across from the old courthouse.  The owner is very talkative.



Inside he history museum: Charles Roscoe Dyer.  He is a distant Hunter cousin.  He was an educator and civic leader.  I used to see him at Hunter reunions and surprisingly, remembered me by name.  He also was he only person at the reunion that wore a bow-tie..

Jekyll island 2010

Jekyll Island, in the early 1900s, was a gettaway for wealthy families of  the north.  When we visited my first cousin, once removed, John Hunter, was head of the Historical projects on the island and gave us a very educational and interesting tour.
