Female Seminary in Northeast Georgia’s Early History
Larry Gantt notes a once famous female college near Currie and Oglethorpe counties, along the Crystal Branch, started in colonial times when education for girls was valued less. The building later became a home, owned by John Thomas and later his son G. D. Thomas, who recalled it as Georgia’s only high school for girls. The piece contrasts early gender roles with modern voting rights and mentions a plan to tear down part of the old structure. It also shifts to farming topics, urging trucking and refrigeration for perishable produce and recounting migration and fruit-growing efforts in Georgia and nearby states.
