Darien, Georgia, Mattie Gladstone oral history
Ms. Gladstone went behind bulldozers when they
built the Ford dealership and the outlet mall (now abandoned) in the
1990s at SR 251 and I-95 and picked up artifacts. The area was the
site of four different rice plantations. She collected dozens of
boxes worth. GDOT has curated and archived them at West Georgia
College. She also documented numerous unknown black cemeteries that
would have been lost forever without that documentation. This too is
now in the archaeology record. 2012. Produced by the Georgia
Department of Transportation.
