Chesser -Williams House. One of the oldest surviving homes in Gwinnett County, this house was built in the 1850s. The house was originally two rooms wide and one room deep. This style is referred to as an I-house. The house is unique because of the beautiful, hand painted folk art found on the exterior and interior, making it one of the only surviving examples of exterior painted decorations in the state of Georgia and perhaps the South. The unknown artist was a traveling German painter who created the artwork in exchange for room and board. The house was located on property owned by Sue and Jarald Williams and moved from its original site six miles away.

It was originally named the “Emmanuel Presbyterian Church.” But is known today as the “Valley Church.” The original 1978 deed says: “Washington Territory Conveys this property to the San Juan Presbyterian Church for its quiet and peaceful possession.” Weekly worship commenced here on July 8, 1882.

The Longest Road – These Ruins are all that’s left of the original homestead of Christoffer Lange, an gentle German beer-maker who settled this land in 1841. He brewed small batches of lager from headwaters of the pedernales river (2 miles north) and stored it in a cool cellar somewhere on this property. Later generations of his family lived in this farmhouse until 1925 when it was converted to other uses. In 1967, Lange’s 17-year-old great-great grandson Conrad – who dreamed of being a writer – stowed his typewriter here and parked his bike beside this stone wall before enlisting in the Marine Corps and shipping out to Vietnam. Sadly, He was presumed killed in Quang Tri in 1968, but his body was never recovered. His parents prayed until the day they dies that their beloved “Connie” would miraculously return someday, so they left his bike just where you see it today.

General George C. Marshall “There are few men whose qualities of mind and character have impressed me so deeply as those of General Marshall. He is a great American, but he is more than that. In war he was as wise and understanding in counsel as he was resolute in action. In peace he was the architect who planned the restoration to our battered European economy and, at the same time, labored tirelessly to establish a system of Western defense, He has always fought victoriously against defeatism. Discouragement, and disillusion. Succeeding generations must not be allowed to forget his achievements and his example.” – Winston Churchill

The Lynching of Anthony Crawford. In Abbeville on Saturday, October 21, 1916, a white mob lynched a black leader named Anthony Crawford for cursing a white man. a 56-year0old planter, “Grandpa” Crawford owned 427 acres of land, had 13 children, and helped establish a school, a church, and farms in the local black community. During the Jim Crow era, successful black people were conspicuous – and arguing with whites was dangerous. That day, a White merchant demanded to buy Mr. Crawford’s cottonseed for a lower price. Mr. Crawford, who used to tell his family he’d rather “throw the seed in the Penny Creek.” refused to sell. After an argument, Mr. Crawford was arrested. A few hours later, 300 white man seized him from jail and fragged him through town behind a buggy. Finally stopping at the fairgrounds, the mob stabbed, beat, hanged, and shot Mr. Crawford over 200 times – then forbade the Crawford family to remove his hanging body from the tree. Terrorized, the well established, multi-generational Crawford family and many other local black people realized that Abbeville was not safe for them. Amid continued threats, most of the family scattered North, leaving behind what their patriarch had built and carrying the painful loss of his wisdom and humor. A century later, this marker symbolizes their continued remembrance – and hope that Abbeville never forget or repeat that horrendous October day. Equal Justice Initiate. 2016.

Hirstein Cemetery. Hirstein Cemetery is traceable to the early 1800’s when many of its graves sites were marked with wooden crosses, and many grave stones were written in German. Buried here are Samuel and Gertrude Hirstein, who both immigrated to America from Germany, married in Ohio in 1841 and later purchased farmland surrounding this area. In 1855 they formally granted one acre of land for cemetery purposes to the trustees of what had been known as Radliff Burial Ground. In 1888 Samuel and Gertrude’s daughter. Barbara Hartman, and her husband Henry deeded an additional 2.14 acres – plus a strip of land for a road to the cemetery – to the trustees of what had become Hirstein Graveyard. Hirstein Cemetery became the formal name in 1918. Periodically since 1990 the size of Hirstein Cemetery has expanded for future use.

Robert Lynn Batts Tobin ( 1934 – 2000) The Tobin Center for the Performing Arts in dedicated in memory of Robert Lynn Batts Tobin (1934-2000) as a celebration of his lifelong devotion to the arts especially the performing arts – and in honor of his and his family’s historic support for the arts in San Antonio and across the nation. The Tobin Family’s connection to this site began in 1926, when San Antonio Mayor John W. Tobin. Robert’s great uncle, dedicated the newly-constructed Municipal Auditorium in honor of these American soldiers who died in World War I. The Auditorium was largely destroyed by fire in 1979 and, after it was rebuilt, Robert’s mother, Margaret Batts Tobin (1898 – 1989). was honorary co-chair of the Phoenix Ball gala reopening in 1986, while Robert provided the decor from his collection of famous stage settings. in 2008, The City of San Antonio Donated the building and grounds to the Bexar County Performing Arts Center Foundation to be re-purposed as a new performing arts center. Following a %15 Million gift from The Tobin Endowment in 2010, the new facility was given Robert’s name. The Tobin Family was known for it deep ties to San Antonio. Robert Tobin was a descendant of the Canary Islands colonists who arrived in 1731 and settled the area that grew into San Antonio. Robert loved this city as if her had been one of those first San Antontans. His father, Edgar G. Tobin (1896 – 1954). a flying ace in World War I, founded Tobin Aerial Mapping Co. In 1928. Later called Tobin Surveys, the company became the largest aerial mapping firm in the world. Robert and Margaret, who helped to organize the city’s first symphony orchestra in 1939 and establish an opera series, were actively engaged not only in major art philanthropy but also in key civic projects, including HemisFair ’68. Robert was an avid collector of fine art and shared his energy and leadership with the Boards of the McNay Art Museum of San Antonio and the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Above all, Robert had a special love for theater and, in particular, opera. He was a member of the Board of Directors of The Metropolitan Opera in New York and helped found The Santo Fe Opera. He was always generous in his support for opera in San Antonio and his enthusiasm was reflected by far more than philanthropy. In fact, Robert had an abiding interest om staging, set design and costume, and spent many hundreds of happy hours – beginning at age 16 – as a stagehand for opera productions om San Antonio. He knew and respected everyone who worked in “the back of the house.” That friendship was reciprocated backstage after a performance of “Faust” at the Municipal Auditorium in 1965 when the members of the local stagehand union surprised him with a gold union membership card – a moment that Robert would carry with him the rest of his life. Robert’s interest in opera, theatre and staging led him to begin assembling a world -renowned collection of scenery designs and costumes which grew to more that 10,000 objects, raging from small set models to costume and set drawings to full-sized scenery backdrops. During his lifetime, Robert began giving his collection to the McNay Art Museum and, upon his death the entire collection was transferred to the McNay, where it is housed today as The Tobin Collection of Theatre Arts. Robert L. V. Tobin was a man of many interests – growing the Tobin Surveys business, medical care for the less fortunate, architecture, book collecting, historic preservation. philanthropy and more. But always in his mind and heart were art, theatre, and opera. So upon its opening on September 4, 2014, it is fitting that visitors to The Tobin Center for the Performing Arts, pass through the original façade of the Municipal Auditorium, dedicated in 1926 by Mayor Tobin, and then encounter an extraordinary, world-class cultural center with state-of-the-art acoustics where, with each inspiring and enriching performance, Robert Tobin’s legacy and love of the arts lives on in his hometown.
