Special Exhibit:
25 Years That Changed History

Three important occurrences in Rabun County history shaped who and what we are today. Amazingly, all three events happened during the first quarter of the twentieth century, from roughly 1900 to 1925. The most important event, because it influenced the other two, was the coming of the railroad.
