Place: Pickett’s Mill Battlefield, 4432 Mt Tabor Church Rd, Dallas, GA 30157
Time and Meeting Place: Meeting at Dallas First United Methodist Church parking lot at 10 AM, (Saturday, 3/14). Some of us may wish to car pool, and I have room for 1 person with equipment.
Summary of event: This is our first photo field trip planned by our Activity Planner, Eliza Nobles. Here’s her short description of the photo outing:
The cost to get into Pickett's Mill is $4 for adults and Seniors 3.50. This includes admission into the museum, a 15 min film if we so desire and access to the trails. Afterwards we can eat at Rodney's (a BBQ place just down the road), subway if we feel the hankering for a 5-dollar-foot long, and there is even a Johnny's Pizza.
This will be a great opportunity for learning a little history, dusting off our cameras and taking some interesting pre-spring photos, socializing and just having a darn good time.

This will be so much fun!
ReplyDeleteIn all the years I've lived in the Atlanta Metro area (since 1983) I've never been here, so I'm really excited. Love history and love taking photos.
ReplyDeleteSuper Psyched! It is very close to my house and I am a huge civil war buff, I cannot believe that I have not been there yet. Of Course I will be there!

PS By the way folks, I made a slight mistake on the map I used above . . . by about 1/2 mile. Hey, does aerial maps are hard to read, Just imagine if I had been Sherman's logistics/mapping officer . . . the South would have won . . . Sherman would have never found Atlanta!
