Georgia is "This" Close to its First National Park!

from Scott Slade's Georgia

This week, Scott is speaking with 8th District US Representative Austin Scott about the bipartisan legislation that would finally give Georgia a national park. The Ocmulgee Mounds near Macon is already a National Historic Park, but getting the per se "National Park" designation would be a boon for tourism, says Rep. Scott. We look at where the legislation stands now, and the remarkable story of the Mississippian indigenous people who built the mounds around 900 AD.
