The beautiful Nacoochee Valley is located in the Northeast Georgia Mountains. It has an extraordinary geological and cultural history. Created by ancient volcanoes, it was the scene of the nation's first major gold rush. Archaeologists have found that humans have lived here for at least 12,000 years. The earliest villages date from around 1000 BC. However,during the period between around 800 AD and 1500 AD, it was essentially a metropolis with towns and villages almost continuous. This is also the probable location where the survivors of the Lost Roanoke Colony spent their last days. The eight Eleanor Dare stone tablets, found here in the valley, have recently been proven authentic. There is so much more that happened here. You will find the Nacoochee's story fascinating.
