Located 16 miles (26 kilometers) east of Atlanta, Stone Mountain Park is the most popular tourist attraction in Georgia, attracting over 3,000,000 visitors per year. Dominating the 3,300-acre (1,336-hectare) park is the 825-foot (251-meter), dome-shaped Stone Mountain, the world's largest outcrop of granite. Said to be the largest bas-relief sculpture in the world, a carving of Confederate leaders President Jefferson Davis, General Robert E. Lee, and Lieutenant General Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson dominates the steep north side of Stone Mountain. It measures 90 feet (27 meters) in height and 190 feet (58 meters) in width. The carving was started in 1923, but due to problems with financing, deadlines, and several sculptors, it was not completed until 1970.

Great page on Atlanta.Stone Mountain Park looks stunning. We usually just drive through Atlanta on our way down to Florida. It's just such a big city. | deecat Wed Mar 7, 2007 15:44 UTC
Sensational pages about Georgia, especially Atlanta. Loved the information about Margaret Mitchell House. I learned a great deal about underground Atlanta too. Superior accounts of CNN, and Coca Cola. Impressive, Dave. | Paul2001 Wed Dec 20, 2006 22:20 UTC
I have never really considered Atlanta as a possible travel destination until reading your page Dave. Well done. | Kuznetsov_Sergey Wed Dec 13, 2006 08:25 UTC
Very interesting page about the capital of Coca-Cola and CNN. 1,220 kilograms of gold leaf covering the dome of the Capitol Building impresses. There is a lot of gold on the domes of Moscow churches but now they use titanic alloy instead of it... |
