  • Building Milton: Hard Times & Tough Choices (Part 2/3)
    How did your hometown survive America’s toughest times? This episode uncovers Milton County’s hidden history, from Civil War struggles to the Great Depression. Jeff DuFresne and Lynn Tinley with The Milton Historical Society are back. The two continue to reveal the untold stories of divided loyalties, economic hardships, and the resilience that shaped Milton’s identity. While many assume North Georgia was fully aligned with the Confederacy, Milton County tells a more complicated story—one of reluctant soldiers, struggling families, and a community forced to adapt. From the devastation of war to the agricultural collapse brought by drought and the boll weevil, Milton’s residents found ways to endure through ingenuity and sheer determination. The episode also explores how financial hardship led to a controversial merger with Fulton County, a decision that still sparks debate today. To learn more about the Milton Historical Society, visit their website: https://www.miltonhistoricalsociety-georgia.org/With the community in mind, this podcast explores the stories, people, and initiatives that make our community unique.
