Logging and Sawmills: Rabun’s First Industry

Floating logs down the Chattooga River in 1910 - Gennett Lumber Company bought land along the river in 1901 and began logging operations in 1902. Uncle Martin Pitts and his family have gathered to watch the men work at loosening logs that were snagged after a splash dam release upstream.
