If you have never been to this hidden gem you are in for a treat. You will see information about the park from the Gwinnett County Parks and Recreation website below:
"This former cotton farm is relatively unchanged since its drawing in the 1820 land lottery. In the early 1900s, it was a thriving farm. In later years the farm housed sharecroppers and experienced the struggles of the Great Depression and the boll weevil. This story comes to life in the property’s original barn, well house, chicken coup, blacksmith shed and restored tenant farmer house."
You will also see other family friendly amenities like nature trails, blacksmith shed, dog park area and more. You will encounter everything from rusty farm implements to what is left of an old rusted vehicle in the woods as well as outbuildings that were typically used in the 1800s.
You will be able to use a variety of lenses on this adventure but they are not required. You will get plenty of practice using a macro, zoom, and wide angles. You will be able to capture amazing photos using a tilt shift. Bring your gear and let's have fun!
