1. Old Sunbury Road Marker
The highway leading south is a remnant of
the Old Sunbury Road, one of the leading
vehicular thoroughfares of post-Revolutionary
Georgia. It was laid out in the early 1790's
from Greensboro via Sparta and Swainsboro to
the Town of Sunbury, a port on the Midway River in Liberty County. The long route was noted for its elevated course and few stream crossings.
When Sunbury declined in commercial
importance the old thoroughfare lost arterial
significance. Many stretches of it however,
remain in daily use.Erected 1956 by Georgia Historical Commission. (Marker Number 054-3.)
