I took a little time this morning to tour Moultrie and Colquitt County. But I didn't even have to leave my chair in front of my computer while I did it!
If you've found the Bookworm Blog, then it'll be easy for you to find the
UGA-Colquitt County Archway Project, a historic tourism initiative.
Go back to the home page and look to the left of the Inter-Library Loan (ILL) link in the center of the screen. You'll see
UGA-Colquitt County Archway Project. Click on that and you'll find yourself able to take the same tour I did.
It's an interesting tour. If you're new to Moultrie, it's a great way to learn about some of the history of Moultrie and the county. If you're not new, but still don't know where some of these sites are, you're going to enjoy the virtual tour. It's going to make you want to get in your car and drive off to see these historical sites for yourself.
The Historical Tourism Maps of Moultrie-Colquitt County are maps powered by Mapicurious and include the:
Downtown Walking Tour of Moultrie - On the righthand side of the screen for each tour is a box providing map information for that particular screen and lists the sites on the map. When you move your mouse to a "pin" on the map, you'll see the name of the site; when you click on the pin, a picture is shown of the site with a related website given. Click on the related website and you'll be able to view GeorgiaInfo, a website telling what's new on GeorgiaInfo, this day in Georgia history (really fun with pictures!), instructional handout masters (pdf's of maps, the State Seal and flag, government information, etc.), and trivia questions.Driving Tour of Moultrie-Colquitt County,Historical Markers and Placques Tour,Monuments and Memorials Tour - This is where you can read about the Elephant Grave Marker that everyone wants to see when they visit Moultrie,Cemeteries Tour - A great find for all you genealogists,National Register of Historic Places Tour,Moultrie African American History Tour, andOther Historical Sites of Interest.I think you'll enjoy going through this interesting tour of Moultrie and Colquitt County.
