Braselton in Jackson County, Georgia — The American South (South Atlantic)
The Braselton School Bell
The bell was later donated to the Town by the children of Green and May Braselton who were the Senator’s grandchildren.
The restored school bell is a symbol of pride for Braselton, where generations heard its sound for school and community events. It is rededicated by the Mayor and Council in 2004.
The gazebo housing the bell is made possible by the civic generosity of Tom Bowen, the Braselton Rotary Club, Earl H. Graham, Mayor Pat Graham, D.G. Jenkins Corporation and Select Brokers.
