Roswell Historic Houses, Roswell, Fulton County, Georgia, United States, North America
Roswell is a city in north Fulton County, Georgia, United States. At the 2010 census, it had a population of 88,346, and in 2014 the estimated population was 94,089, making it Georgia's seventh largest city. A suburb of Atlanta, the city is well known for its prominent Historic district. In 1830, while on a trip to northern Georgia, Roswell King passed through the area of what is now Roswell and observed the great potential for building a cotton mill along Vickery Creek. Since the land nearby was also good for plantations, his idea was to put cotton processing near cotton production. Toward the middle of the 1830s, King returned to build a mill that would soon become the largest in north Georgia Roswell Mill. He brought with him 36 African slaves from his own coastal plantation, plus another 42 skilled carpenter slaves bought in Savannah to build the mills. The slaves built the mills, infrastructure, houses, mill worker apartments, and supporting buildings for the new town. The Africans brought their unique Geechee culture, language, and religious traditions from the coast to north Georgia. King invited investors from the coast to join him at the new location. He was also joined by Barrington King, one of his sons, who succeeded his father in the manufacturing company. Archibald Smith was one of the planters who migrated there to establish a new plantation, also bringing enslaved African Americans from the coastal areas. Barrington Hall (the home of Barrington King), Smith Plantation (the home of Archibald Smith) and Bulloch Hall (the childhood home of President Theodore Roosevelt's mother, Mittie Bulloch) have been preserved and restored. They are now open to the public. According to the 1850 Slave Schedules, these three founding families, together with the next three largest planters, held 192 slaves, 51% of the total 378 slaves held in Roswell District. Archibald Smith had a 300-acre (1.2 km2) cotton plantation. According to the 1850 Census, Barrington King held 70 slaves. Half of these slaves were under the age of 10. These slaves worked in Barrington's household. Barrington King leased or rented some of his adult male slaves to the Roswell Manufacturing Company, but they did not work around the mill machinery. The Roswell area was part of Cobb County when first settled, and the county seat of Marietta was a four-hour (one-way) horseback ride to the west. Since Roswell residents desired a local government, they submitted a city charter for incorporation to the Georgia General Assembly. The charter was approved on February 16, 1854. By the time of the Civil War, the cotton mills employed more than 400 people, mostly women. Given settlement patterns in the Piedmont region, they were likely of Scots-Irish descent. As the mill increased in production, so did the number of people living in the area. During the Civil War, the city was captured by Union forces under the leadership of General Kenner Garrard. Under orders of General Sherman, Garrard shipped the mill workers north to prevent them from returning to work if the mills were rebuilt. This was a common tactic of Sherman to economically disrupt the South. The mill was burned, but the houses were left standing. The ruins of the mill and the 30-foot (9.1 m) dam that was built for power still remain. Most of the town's property was confiscated by Union forces. The leading families had left the town to go to safer places well before the Federal invasion, and arranged for their slaves to be taken away from advancing Federal troops, as was often the practice. Some slaves may have escaped to Union lines. After the war, Barrington King rebuilt the mills and resumed production. While many freedmen stayed in the area to work as paid labor on plantations or in town, others migrated to Fulton County and Atlanta for new opportunities. The South suffered an agricultural depression resulting from the effects of the war and labor changes. According to the census, the population of Cobb County decreased slightly from 14,242 in 1860, to 13,814 in 1870. The proportion of African-Americans decreased more, from 27% to 23%. During those years, nearby Fulton County more than doubled in population, from 14,427 to 33,336. The effects of dramatic African-American migration can be seen by the increase in Fulton County from 20.5% slave in 1860 to 45.7% colored (Black) in 1870. At the end of 1931, the United States was in the midst of the Great Depression. The difficult economic conditions drove Milton County, Roswell's neighboring county to the north (note: much of what is now Roswell was part of Milton County already), to merge in its entirety with Fulton County, Roswell's neighboring county to the south. To facilitate the merger, Roswell was ceded from Cobb County to become part of Fulton County.

Chattahoochee National Forest - Sumac Creek Trail Part 1
Music: The Coldest Shoulder by The 126ers
I went on a day hike in the Chattahoochee National Forest on the Sumac Creek Trail, a 10.8 mile loop. The trailhead can be accessed from Highway 411 in Cisco, GA. Take Old Highway 2 (becomes Forest Service Road 16) for 3.1 miles and at the West Cowpen Check Station turn right onto Forest Service Road 17 (West Cowpen Road). The trailhead is located approximately 2.1 miles along this road at the junction with Forest Service Road 17A.
Part 1: I started my hike along the loop in a counterclockwise direction. The trail follows Forest Service Road 17A along the northern ridge for approximately 3.8 miles. At this point I walked past a gate (barricade) and continued hiking along an old road bed. There were some nice views of the surrounding mountains to my left. At approximately 5 miles the trail crosses Sumac Creek at the confluence of Muddy Branch. I stopped here for lunch and enjoyed the solitude of the wilderness and listened to the tumbling water of Sumac Creek and Muddy Branch. It was worth the entire hike just to spend some time here at this peaceful spot.
Check out Part 2 where I climb out of the valley onto the southern ridge and make my way back to the trailhead.
Thank you for hiking with Sleeves! Keep Hiking!
Chattahoochee Nature Center — Rockin' at the River — Light the Night 05/10/14
Light the Night is the theme of this year's Rockin' at the River Gala for the Chattahoochee Nature Center on Saturday, May 10th. Enjoy Nature, Music, Food and Drink as you Dance under the stars and join movers and shakers across Metro Atlanta in celebrating the
Chattahoochee Nature Center while supporting their mission.
The highlight of the evening will be a presentation by the Nature Center's Board of Trustees to Lou and Pat Tabickman, selected to receive this year's Outstanding Leadership Award. Maureen Cowie, Board President, explained this honor, This is for Lou's tireless commitment over the past year in stepping up to assume leadership of the Center when it was most needed and Pat's selfless support, allowing Lou to do so. The value of their joint contribution to the
Center cannot be measured or well expressed in words but we hope that this award at least partially recognize its immeasurable worth. As a member of the Board of Trustees for the past four years, Lou Tabickman and his wife are also strong supporters of the Roswell Community serving on Boards of the Roswell Rotary Club, The Cottage School and the Roswell Woman's Club.
During the Patron and VIP Party kicking off the evening at 6:30 pm, Fulton County Commissioner Tom Lowe will be presented with a resolution commending and recognizing his forty years of public service as the Fulton County Commissioner to the 4th District. The framed and signed proclamation will be presented by Representative Harry Geisinger of the 48th and Representative Lynne Riley of the 50th on behalf of North Fulton's Delegation members. House Resolution 1322 states some of Commissioner Lowe's legacy of accomplishments while recognizing his pivotal role in helping to establish the Chattahoochee Nature Center 38 years ago:
WHEREAS, Commissioner Lowe led the charge in acquiring a large piece of land for use by the Chattahoochee Nature Center, which is currently the metro region's premier environmental education center.
Without strong partners, the Chattahoochee Nature Center would not have grown to become Georgia's oldest and largest private environmental education nonprofit organization, providing pathways to stewardship for more than 130,000 children and adults each year, explained Kathi Wurzel, this year's event chair.
Jane Hart, Co-Chair of this year's gala, said, We appreciate all of the board's members who are collaborating to make this year's event successful in raising the critical operating funds for CNC's environmental education work. Committee chairs include Lisa Hyde, Entertainment Chair; Max Zygmont, Silent Auction Chair; Bob Hagan, Food Chair; Diane Barton, Beverage Chair and Michael DuBois, the Sponsorship Chair.
This gorgeous 127-acre riverfront setting sets the stage for the Patron and VIP Reception with music by Chris Otts at 6:30 pm in the plaza, complete with passed hors d'oeuvres and cocktails. The gala begins at 7:30 pm when guests arrive at Kingfisher Hall when Don McBroom will entertain guests during the gourmet buffet. An extensive Silent and short Live Auction will include a variety of unique experiences and items contributed by local companies. As the moon rises, guests will meander to the Ben Brady Lakeside Pavilion for dessert and dancing to music by the Stephen Lee Band. Individual Patron Tickets are $250 and general tickets are $125 per person, with sponsorships available also. Please contact DeAnn Fordham, Development Director, at 770-992-2055, extension 226 for tickets and information, or visit us online at

Apalachicola River & Bay: A Connected Ecosystem
Apalachicola National Estuarine Research Reserve on Facebook:
Friends of Apalachicola Reserve Website:
This 12-minute documentary portrays the watershed of the Apalachicola estuary, one of the most productive estuaries in the United States. The water that flows through this system makes a 542-mile journey down the watershed from the Georgia headwaters of the Chattahoochee River to Florida’s Apalachicola Bay.
Because of the connectivity of the Apalachicola River system, responsible stewardship of the entire watershed is essential to the preservation of Apalachicola Bay for future generations.

SUMMARY
=======
Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area (CRNRA) preserves a series of sites between Atlanta and Lake Sidney Lanier along the Chattahoochee River, Georgia, U.S. The 48-mile (77 km) stretch of the river affords public recreation opportunities and access to historic sites. The National Recreation Area, a National Park Service unit, was established on August 15, 1978, by President Jimmy Carter.
The park headquarters and visitor center are located at the Island Ford Unit of the park, at 1978 Island Ford Parkway in Sandy Springs, Georgia. The Chattahoochee River is a stocked trout stream with 23 species of game fish. Year-round fishing is available with a Georgia fishing license and a trout stamp.
In 2012, the Chattahoochee National Recreation Area was designated as the Chattahoochee River Water Trail to become the first river named a National Water Trail. The National Water Trails System was created by the U.S. Department of the Interior to increase access to water-based outdoor recreation, encourage community stewardship of local waterways, and promote tourism.Cochran Shoals is the largest and most popular unit of the park, featuring a 3-mile (4.8 km) fitness trail, suitable for walking/jogging/biking, which is wheelchair-accessible and is excellent for bird- and wildlife-watching. The historic Marietta Paper Mill ruins along Sope Creek are preserved within the Sope Creek unit of the area. The Akers Mill ruins along Rottenwood Creek are found within the West Palisades unit. Steep rock cliffs rise from the river's flood plain in the East Palisades unit of the park.
Powers Island was named for James Power (1790–1870). In 1835, he established Power's ferry on the Chattahoochee River, connecting what is now Sandy Springs to Cobb County. Power's Ferry, now spelled Powers Ferry, was used by units of General William Sherman's army in July 1864. The ferry was eventually replaced by a bridge, which was built in 1903.
The Vickery Creek unit preserves a rugged and scenic stretch of Vickery Creek (also known as Big Creek) from Grimes Bridge Road to its mouth at the Chattahoochee River. The ruins of Ivy Mill, which was a wool mill that produced fabric for Confederate soldiers, are located in this unit along with the historic Allenbrook House. Ivy Mill was destroyed by the Union Army in 1864, and the women factory workers were sent North for the duration of the war. The Allenbrook House, completed in 1857, was the home and office of the manager of Ivy Mill.
From the Vickery Creek Unit, pedestrians can use sidewalks and spur trails for convenient access to Chattahoochee River Park (a Roswell Recreation and Parks/Fulton County park), Riverside Park, Don White Memorial Park, Willeo Creek Park on the Cobb County line, Waller Park on Hog Wallow Creek, and the Chattahoochee Nature Center. Roswell Mill can be accessed via a spur trail and covered bridge that crosses the creek at the site of the Roswell Mill Machine Shop, which was built in 1853 and is the only original building left standing of the 1839 Roswell Manufacturing Company. The Roswell Mill building currently left standing was built in 1882 and is now used as an office complex.
The Chattahoochee River itself is one of Georgia's premier trout streams. It also offers picturesque areas for boating, canoeing, and rafting. It is very popular in the summer months for visitors to rent tubes and float from Powers Island to Paces Mill.
United State Park Rangers patrol the 48 miles (77 km) of river and 10,000 acres (4,000 ha) of land units with patrol vehicles, jet-powered boats, kayaks, and mountain bikes; and they hike the trails on foot. Rangers enforce the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) as well as Georgia criminal and traffic codes and are authorized to carry firearms and make arrests. U.S. Park Rangers are commissioned Federal police officers who are tra ...
Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area
One of our Day Trips took us down to the Chattahoochee River NRA which is associated with the National Parks System. It covers 48 miles of the river's length and is situated in a very highly populated area in the northern area of Atlanta. It's almost surreal having such a natural preserve almost in the middle of a large city. It's a great place for hiking, fishing, canoeing, kayaking and just floating leisurely down river on an inner-tube.

Thought we'd lost the drone when entering a restricted area near the dam - lost the signal completely. Scared the bejaisus out of the pilot, Sam. Trust the Return-to-Home technology!
Love the Mavic Air - a wee beast of a machine & brilliant camera.
