Historic Sites
Georgia Historic Site Bullet Dahlonega Gold Museum State Historic Site - #1 Public Square, Dahlonega, GA 30533 - Office Phone (706) 864-2257
Hours - Mon-Sat at 9 am - 5 pm and Sun at 10 am - 5 pm
Twenty years before the famed 1849 gold rush in California, thousands of prospectors flocked into the Cherokee Nation in north Georgia, marking the true beginning of our country's first gold rush.  Their dramatic story is told inside the historic 1836 Lumpkin County Courthouse.  It is the oldest courthouse in Georgia. Dahlonega prospered with its mining activity, and a U.S. Branch Mint opened in 1838.  The museum's exhibits include a set of these coins, a nugget weighing more than five ounces, a large hydraulic cannon and nozzle used to blast soil from mountainsides, and a film and gift shop.
 
Visitors can explore the courthouse features, including beautiful wooden chapel seats from 1889, and the judge's chambers. The town of Dahlonega is a popular destination for gold panning, shopping and sightseeing.
Admission: $2.50 - $4.  Group rates available with advance notice. Closed on Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years Day.
Located on the Public Square in Dahlonega, 5 miles west of GA Hwy 400.

Traveler's Rest is a stagecoach inn and plantation home. It was built around 1815 by James R. Wylie. He sold the inn to Devereaux Jarrett in the 1830s who doubled the plantation size. Georgia purchased the plantation in the 1950s and opened it to the public as a historic site.  Visitors can enjoy a tour of the house, and see many of its original artifacts and furnishings.
Admission: $2.50 - $4. Group rates available with advance notice. Closed on Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years Day.
