(Interior Georgia, Alabama, Central Tennessee)
This group has not been visited yet.
This group offers a good variety of sites! Civil rights, military, scenic and recreational units make this one of the more interesting and diverse groups.
Five sites are dedicated to the civil rights struggles in the south, including two around the Tuskegee Institute. Five battlefields are featured, four from the Civil War, plus military-related sites at Andersonville (a brutal POW camp) and in Oak Ridge, TN, where work on the Manhattan Project took place.
Finally, scenic rivers, caves and recreation areas fill out the fare for this trip.
