"South of Dahlonega, Georgia, in Lumpkin County on Highway 9E one can find the little lost town of Auraria. A place often called a ghost town. Many years ago thousands of people trotted the streets going to and fro in the big gold rush days. It is now an almost forgotten place near the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Today all the older generation are long gone. Very few now live to tell the story of the facts that gold was the motive for the history of Auraria and Lumpkin County, a county created in 1832."
"In the early 1970's, the Gold Museum was one of my favorite places. It was free then, so you could just bop in and out. Amy was always friendly and helpful. She always liked to point out the man's portait where the eyes would appear to follow you wherever you went."
"My most lasting memory of Auraria was stopping at the little store for a cold drink each trip so the kids could see the 2 headed snake. It was mounted on the wall in a glass tube. It was maybe 2 1/2 feet to 3 feet long and it had a head on each end."
