A visit to Madison, Georgia

Madison, Georgia, located located about an hour east of Atlanta and about the same distance south of Athens, Georgia. This small historic town in the Piedmont, is known for its many antebellum homes, which unlike many areas, were spared General Sherman's torch during the infamous March to the Sea at the end of the Civil War. I stayed in Madison the evening prior to giving a talk at a pollination symposium in nearby Conyers, Georgia.

Unfortunately this museum was closed

Student workers painting building facade

I presume this refers to large trucks

Madison is not far from the U. of Georgia and most folks are bulldog fans
