Thursday, Oct 16, 2025 2 PM to 3 PM - Dahlonega Gold Museum Historic Site - Dahlonega, GA - Bank robberies. Gun fights. Moonshine. Jail breaks. Hog Thieves. Murders. An urban hike offered at the Dahlonega Gold Museum State Historic Site introduces visitors to these cases and even more from the annals of Lumpkin County court records.
Guest will begin their tour at the museum, which is housed in the original Lumpkin County courthouse. As the acting courthouse for 129 years, the courtroom saw a wide variety of colorful cases, and a knowledgeable park ranger will share these stories of Lumpkin County’s criminal justice system, and how criminals broke the law and suffered the consequences in this justice system. The tour takes about 45 minutes to an hour, and will bring guests around the historic town square. Bring adequate clothing for the weather. Some of the sidewalks around Dahlonega are uneven but the ranger can adjust the route to accommodate guests.
