Washington, Georgia

BettyAnn, Rachael & I were up early on Saturday morning heading for Athens for the Plying the Arts 2006 presented by the Peachtree Handspinners Guild and the Lyndon House Arts Center. We decided to take the back road up Highway 78 and to stop and noodle around in the towns on the way there and home. Our first stop was in Washington, Georgia where we stopped at the East Square.

City Hall building.


















The Purple Palette where the owner regailed us with stories of the local artists whose art was for sale. Very interesting pieces with reasonable prices and friendly service.














Tree in the center of the square with a close up of the plaque dedicated to the Wilkes County Courthouse.






























Confederate Monument in the middle of the square.



















Several shots of the Fitzpatrick Hotel. It is quite grand and stately. I just love the old buildings!!


















































JT Lindsey building.














Older home on the way out of town with an old truck in the garage and a closeup of the gazebo part of the house.
