West Point Lake Heritage Cruise
Sally Bethea, director of Chattahoochee Riverkeeper from 1994-2014, will enlighten us about the role CRK has played in improving the water quality of communities downstream of Atlanta and especially West Point Lake. Charles Seabrook, state renowned author and reporter for the Atlanta-Journal Constitution during the early years of West Point Lake, will share stories and issues concerning West Point Lake. Sarah Love, who works for the Historic Preservation Division for the State of Georgia, will teach about the Native Americans who once lived along the Middle Chattahoochee River. Helen Henry will take us back in time with stories from before West Point Lake was formed or when it was newly impounded and how it affected her family who owned a farm that was lost. Enjoy a light dinner and beverages (beer, wine and nonalcoholic options) while the day turns to night- the sun sets and moon rises over beautiful West Point Lake!
