Two iconic structures that conjure up memories of a simpler time are the gristmill and the covered bridge. An 1876 report from the Georgia Department of Agriculture stated that there were over 1200 water-powered mills in the state. There is no record of how many covered bridges existed in the state  but the numbers of both kinds of structures that still stand continues to decrease. Vanishing Landmarks of Georgia spotlights 56 remaining gristmills and 16 covered bridges. In addition to stunning color photographs of each structure  the guide provides a history of the site and detailed directions  including maps and GPS coordinates. Not only can you enjoy the photographs of these vanishing landmarks from the comfort of your armchair at home  but you can also locate these structures and visit them before they disappear from our landscape. Joseph Kovarik has researched and photographed the Georgia gristmills and covered bridges since 2007. His images have been displayed in shows in Colorado Springs  Lone Tree  and Louisville  CO; Palm Springs and the San Diego Museum of Natural History  in California  and the Buttonwood Art Center in Kansas City  MO. He divides his time between his home in Colorado Springs  CO  and his daughters home in Cumming  GA. In this guide  Kovarik spotlights 56 remaining gristmills and 16 covered bridges. In addition to stunning color photographs of each structure  the guide provides a history of the site and detailed directions  as well as a map and GPS coordinates.
