Tour of Athens and Washington

On April 5, 2025, members of the Atlanta and Cobb Round Tables joined forces to tour Athens, taking in the T.R.R. Cobb House and the Hargrett Rare Book and Manuscript Library. From there the group traveled to nearby Washington for lunch at the Peacewood Plantation, home of former Atlanta Round Table member Bill deGolian and his wife B.J. After lunch, led by the inimitable Claibourne Darden, we toured Washington, stopping at the Washington City Museum and the Robert Toombs House. 

Our thanks to Terry Kingery and the other volunteers from both Round Tables for their hard work in organizing this excellent field trip.  It was a special treat to have our friend and former Atlanta Round Table president Brian Wills return to Georgia to help conduct the tour.  After his retirement from Kennesaw State Brian moved back home to Virginia.  A special thanks to Brian.
