My Family moved to Douglas County Georgia in 1964. Started a Local clock Sales and Repair Business in 1967. Have always been interested in history in general. Currently trying to preserve the memory of the South East Riverside of Douglas County before it is all lost to Developement. Essentially This land was Indian territory until 1835, The first settlers were coming in around 1837 and held these properties until 1948 when the land was purchased by Hargis and Wright, Developers who subdivided the 1450 Acres into what is Listed as Riverside Gardens subdivision. Circa 1952 only a dozen residences were on the property. Now all traces of History of the surrounding area are being permanently erased from existence. This is my home as it was to the early pioneers of Campbell / Douglas County and the Creek Indians.

This is a movie set that was constructed at this location only for the filming of the movie "Killers" released in 2010. Stars include: Ashton Kutcher, Katherine Heigl, and Tom Seleck. Filming took place May - June of 2009. All of the Structures you see here were completely removed Mid June 2009. A Chase Scene involving a Gold Pontiac Trans-Am (79-81) Ends abruptly on this set when the car flipped upside down on a pillar of steel rods. I was lucky enough to play as an extra on one of the Scenes shot here.

Tex is actually still living and in his mid 90s, His memory has begun to fail, but he was quite the Artist. He ran a radio show in ohio with his own program for many years. He was always the front man and performed at many country western gigs. knew many folks. His life history should be recorded. Im not sure if he is in the music hall of fame but should be. I would like to have a photo of the barn standing. Shame it had to go to waste. The Dances were a highlight to the locals.

SAD but this Landmark Historic building may fall in before it gets help. When its GONE IT WILL BE GONE FOREVER. There were Groups interested in preservation of the building, but Now it seems No One is giving up the much needed funds to preserve it. One of the most important Landmarks in the area and No Money to Save It. Its my understanding that because the church across the street owns the property, there is no outside funding.

The Early Settlers of Roswell Georgia lay at rest at the top of the ridge. Among the families are Dunwoody, King, Burney, Bullock. The Founder of Roswell, Roswell King was buried here Feb 15, 1844. Major James Stephens Bulloch who was the grandfather of president Theodore Roosevelt is among nearly 70 marked graves of those buried here between 1840 & 1860. There is a Historic Marker erected by the Roswell Woman’s Club circa 1977. Beautiful Area, Lots of history in Roswell.

This is the house that I grew up in. I would be more than happy to gave you more information on it.

It is possible this mill could be of the Gorman plantation to which land it resides prior to the civil war. There is a road seen on old civil war maps that crossed the land near the mills location.

Originally a two room home built for the soul purpose of housing servants. This home was 14' x 30'. The original center chimney is starting to show its age. The home has had several add ons but its origin is visible as the section of two windows on the back of the structure. maybe a tad older than those slave houses found on the Gorman / Austell Plantation just a few miles south. It is quite possible that this home contains a additional servant home that was also incorporated into the construction.
