Georgia Peach History Project (home)

The Old South Farm Museum Staff is presently writing a book on our great Peach History in Georgia and we need your help. We are looking for photographs, color and black and white, articles from magazines and newspaper clippings to help in our research. We would also like a brief history of the peach industry in every county of Georgia.

If you have pictures or articles from 1900 through the 1960s on peach sheds, family or commercial orchards, packing houses, labels, etc., please contact Paul Bulloch at the Old South Farm Museum in Woodland, GA or phone 706-674-2894 or cell phone: 706-975-9136.

If you can send photographs electronically via email, we would ask that you scan them in at 300dpi for the best clarity. Also, we would need a caption or brief description of the image (see example below). Your help in this project is invaluable and we appreciate all of the people who have contributed thus far.
