Cheers! South Forsyth Hosts Its 10th Annual Oktoberfest

The annual Oktoberfest celebration at South Forsyth is a tradition that introduces German culture to the War Eagle community. Originally intended to celebrate the wedding of King Ludwig of Bavaria and Princess Therese of Saxe-Hildburghausen in 1810, the holiday was a multi-day celebration that featured military parades, horse races, and plenty of beer. Today, Theresienwiese (“Therese’s Meadow”) serves as the official site for the Munich Oktoberfest, attracting over millions of visitors every year. Although it has evolved over time, the celebration continues to honor German culture through music, dancing, and traditional clothing and food.

Passenger Trains Are Gone, But These 10 Historic Tennessee Depots Still Stand

Union soldiers once pulled bricks out of a train depot wall in Tennessee so they could fire from inside. That shoulder-high firing port is still visible today. The building around it is often called the oldest train depot in the state. It has company, too. Another town on this list only exists because a railroad needed a crew-change stop back in 1902.

Cave Spring's historic Fairview School building gets handicap ramp

Cave Spring’s historic Fairview School, one of the oldest remaining structures in Georgia built for the education of Black students, recently received a new front and side porch, which features an accessible ramp. The addition on the 1920s building was made possible by a grant from the Rome Area Heritage Foundation. The RAHF is dedicated to preserving history through historic sites in Rome and Floyd County, so the foundation’s partnership with the Fairview School was a no-brainer for everyone involved in the project. “When we say it is an honor to partner with an organization that is so dedicated to historic preservation as our friends at Fairview — we truly mean that it is an honor,” said Don Walls, co-president of the RAHF board of directors. “Fairview has been a great steward of history and monetary resources, and we look forward with anticipation as they continue to live out a mission of restoration and adaptive reuse.” The grant allowed the nonprofit Fairview-E.S. Brown Heritage Corporation to purchase lumber for the porch, which was constructed by inmates from the Floyd County Prison. This porch was another addition in a decades-long mission to restore the beloved building, which holds a century of

The structure was first documented in 1849, […]
