This is the Dahlonega, Georgia courthouse, where an elected official gave a fiery speech to local gold miners, imploring them to stay rather than head to California to join the gold rush. In his speech, he exclaimed, "thar's gold in them thar hills," which we've all heard a thousand times. We visited Dahlonega today to wander through a couple of shops and have dinner at the excellent
Smith House.
