Georgia Civil War Heritage Trails ® - Evans, GA
The Civil War, or War Between the States, changed Georgia forever. Its impact on Georgia was greater than any other event, hurricane, or sporting spectacular. Approximately 11,000 Georgians were killed between 1861 and 1865, while 460,000 others were emancipated by the War’s outcome. Georgia Civil War Heritage Trails® (“GCWHT”) interprets Georgia’s Civil War era along its historic routes, while leading visitors on an experience back in time. Indeed the drives themselves, along many of the same roads once used by soldiers wearing blue or gray, are as important to understanding Georgia’s importance during the War as are the “interpretive markers.” In addition, GCWHT highlights various preservation opportunities, with many scenic and cultural benefits.
