Helen, GA is a former asbestos mining town that found itself in hard times when the asbestos market collapsed. The town lifted itself up with the spirit of tourism as it morphed into a misplaced German town in the Appalachian Mountains.
Let's take a look around town.....
I also took a look at an abandoned bear pit.....
And finally we take a look at the legendary Nacoochee Indian Mound....
