Old Sunbury Road
?—«
The highway leading south is a remnant of
the Old Sunbury Road, one of the leading
vehicular thoroughfares of post-Revolutionary
Georgia. It was laid out in the early 1790`s
from Greensboro via Sparta and Swainsboro to
the Town of Sunbury, a port on the Midway River in
Libery County. The long route was noted for
its elevated course and few stream crossings.
When Sunbury declined in commercial
importance the old thoroughfare lost arterial
significance. Many stretches of it however,
remain in daily use.
Marker is at the intersection of U.S. 280 and Sunbury Road, on the right when traveling east on U.S. 280.
