Prowling The Peach State

I hit the beach (sort of) and visit this small but neat and interactive museum focusing on the homefront experience in Georgia's coastal communities during World War Two.

Kicking off a new season of podcasts with a trip to Savannah to see an amazing private collection of military artifacts, housed in the Webb Military Museum.

Ahead of my summer break from podcasting, I travel to the outstanding Delta Flight Museum, right next to Hartsfield-Jackson Airport...where there is something for everyone.

I hit downtown Atlanta this month to visit an awesome museum--I really enjoyed my visit and will definitely go back.

I head right up the road from me this month to a place I've visited many times before...the SE Railway Museum!

I hit Columbus again for a stop at the Lunchbox Museum, the world's largest collection of lunchboxes. Just so happens there are multiple museums in one spot, including the RC Cola Museum as well as Chero-Cola, and Tom's Snacks Museums!

I travel to West Georgia this month for an afternoon in Carrollton, GA, featuring a stop at the Southeastern Quilt and Textile Museum.

This month we're outside Savannah, Georgia at the Pin Point Heritage Museum, which celebrates the history and resilience of this community rooted in the Gullah-Geechee culture. It's also the birthplace of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas.

I travel to Atlanta's West End neighborhood to learn more about Joel Chandler Harris, best known as the author of the Uncle Remus stories. Harris was incredibly influential, but not without controversy.

Mona and I head back to Savannah to visit Georgia State Railroad Museum, located in the Frogtown district of Savannah. Central of Georgia Railroad history, and much more about old time Savannah!

More from our visit to the Longstreet Society Museum at the Historic Piedmont Hotel in Gainesville, GA, plus more from our interview with Cory Pfarr about General Longstreet

This month we travel to The Longstreet Society Museum at the Historic Piedmont Hotel in Gainesville, GA, where Confederate General James Longstreet made his home near the end of his life. There's more here than meets the eye though, and so we also talk to author Cory Pfarr, author of two books on the general. Maybe another lesson in not believing everything you read? Plus chickens.

True crime, the macabre, and the weird (and fun because pinball machines) all come together at the Graveface Museum in Savannah. This sometimes creepy city is the perfect home for this museum!

I visited The Computer Museum of America in Roswell, GA, and as I discover, there's "more than you'd expect" here. There is something for everyone of every generation.

***More from the Loudermilk Boarding House, more from Keith Alverson, and an interview with Angela Ballard. *** First we travel to Cornelia, GA to see the Loudermilk Boarding House and (especially) Elvis Museum, where we talked to Joni Mabe.

First we travel to Cornelia, GA to see the Loudermilk Boarding House and (especially) Elvis Museum, where we talked to Joni Mabe. We also talk to Elvis photographer and lifelong fan Keith Alverson, exploring another Georgia connections to the King. In the bonus episode, we met with local Elvis fan club founder Angela Ballard.

Crawford Long was the first doctor to perform a surgery using anesthesia, so we travel to Jefferson, GA, where he practiced.

The truth about who Ty Cobb was has been obscured with falsehoods. The museum dedicated to the "Georgia Peach" works to set the record straight!

For our first episode, we learn more about Georgia's connections to the Blues by visiting Columbus, GA and stopping in at the Ma Rainey House and Blues Museum.
