Rock City

 Rock City is a roadside attraction near Chattanooga, Tennessee, on Lookout Mountain in Lookout Mountain, Georgia, located near Ruby Falls. It is well-known for the many barn advertisements throughout the Southeast and Midwest United States that have the slogan "See Rock City" painted on barn roofs and sides. In total, over 900 barn roofs in nineteen states were painted by Clark Byers for Rock City.[1]  (Wikipedia  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rock_City)

New Echota

New Echota was the capital of the Cherokee Nation prior to their forced removal in the 1830s. New Echota is 3.68 miles north of present-day Calhoun, Georgia, and south of Resaca, Georgia. The site is a state park and an historic site.

The site is at the confluence of the Coosawattee River and Conasauga River, which join to form the Oostanaula River, and near to Town Creek. Archeological evidence has shown that the site of New Echota was occupied by earlier villages before the Cherokee made it their capitol in 1825. A Cherokee town called Gansagiyi (abbreviated Gansagi) was present at the site before its re-establishment as New Echota.
