Tallapoosa



My family is from the western part of Georgia, particularly Haralson, Floyd, Polk, and Paulding counties so I have a deep affection for anything dealing with that area. One of my favorite towns there is Tallapoosa located in Haralson County. First off, I love the name. Second, it's a very cute town with friendly people.
One of my favorite things is to explore. I love visiting places and then reading about the history of the area that I have seen. I am currently researching my family and at the same time researching the area where they lived. In doing a little research today I came across a legendary fiddler named A. A. Gray who lived in Tallapoosa. Check out his rendition of Tallapoosa Bound
