"We have worked with Panoply since 2002 on four different projects. We always say that Martha Ann is a GENIUS. She creates beautiful rooms and settings in ways that we could never come up with, and yet - if we could do it ourselves, we'd do exactly what she does. She makes our spaces interesting, beautiful and comfortable. Panoply is a joy to work with - by having not only design genius but good practical business sense. I cannot imagine moving into any space, ever, without the Panoply Team working with us. Great people, great service, great design."

HISTORIC SITES

Starr’s Mill

■ Starr’s Mill Starr’s Mill is one of the most historic, picturesque, and photographed sites in Georgia. In fact, Starr’s Mill has been used as a fi lm site for two movies, “Sweet Home Alabama” and “Fried Green Tomatoes,” as well as in numerous magazines. The Mill sits along what was once a portion of the old McIntosh Trail, a well-known Indian trail that ran from the Ocmulgee River in Butts County Georgia to Alabama. Starr’s Mill was operational until 1959, using a water-powered turbine, instead of a wheel, to grind corn and operate a sawmill. The mill site also included a cotton gin and a dynamo that produced electricity for nearby Senoia. The current mill is the third to stand at this location along White Water Creek. The fi rst mill was built in the mid-1820s, just G after the Creek Indians ceded this land to the United States government. It burned down as well as the second mill that replaced it. The mill that stands today was built in 1907. Today, the mill and about 16 acres of property around it are owned by the Fayette Country Water Department and are open for fi shing and picnicing. Starr’s Mill park is open 6:30am to 6pm EST; 6:30am to 8:30pm DST. The mill building itself is seldom open to the public. 115 Waterfall Way, Fayetteville. ■ Brown’s Mill Battlefi eld The 100-acre historic site in Coweta County was open to the public in 2013. Owned by Coweta County, the battlefi eld is largely undeveloped but features four walking/running trails and several mountain biking trails as well as an outdoor pavilion. Historically, Brown’s Mill Battlefi eld is where the Battle of Brown’s Mill was fought July 30, 1864, during the Atlanta Campaign of the American Civil War. Edward M. McCook’s Union cavalry, on a daring raid to sever communications and supply lines in south-central Georgia, was defeated near Newnan by Confederate forces under Joseph Wheeler. Brown’s Mill changed the course of the Atlanta Campaign, forcing Sherman to abandon his efforts to use cavalry to cut Atlanta’s railroads and compelling him to begin a lengthy siege of Atlanta. Historical markers provide background on the 5-hour battle that ended with 150 men dead and wounded and over 1,000 more captured and imprisoned in the brutally overcrowded Andersonville prison. The Brown’s Mill Battlefi eld Association organizes battle reenactments and tours throughout the year. The park is open daily and admission is free. 770-254-2627; 155 Millard Farmer Rd., Newnan.
