There was so much to see in Carroll County, it was
hard to limit ourselves to the sites open during the
Spring Ramble. If you can’t wait to Ramble again
this fall to Hawkinsville and Pulaski County and
would like to return to Carroll County, check out
other sites of interest below.
Please note: private residences are not open to the
public.

The Georgia Trust
Rambles
Rambles
feature educational visits and social events in
historic properties not usually open to the public.
Offered as a benefit to Georgia Trust members, these
field trips attract about 300 participants per
Ramble and are offered two weekends each year. Recent
Rambles have included Eatonton, Rome, Monroe,
Moultrie and Monticello, where members toured the
Phillips-Turner-Kelly house, a National Register
property in the process of renovation, and the Lynch
Home, which included a log cabin in which Gen.
Sherman stopped for lunch in 1864 on his March to
the Sea. Want to see what it's all about? Find out
what Ramblers did on the 2004
Spring Ramble to Dalton, Ga. and our
2004 Fall Ramble to Dublin, Ga.
