This is called Oak Avenue and it is the road that leads you to the ruins of a tabby built by one of the first settlers in Georgia, Noble Jones. The descendants of Jones still maintain a huge house on the grounds. Aren’t they lucky? This is their ‘driveway.’ Because he was one of the first settlers here in Georgia, Jones had to be a ‘jack of all trades’ and did everything from carpentry, to Indian negotiations, and was even the local physician!
