In November, Dahlonega welcomed its newest historical attraction: the Chestatee River Diving Bell, a piece of 19th century technology rescued from the river’s depths. On Feb. 5, visitors can go see the bell at Hancock Park, just off the square at the corner of North Park Street and Warwick Street, then take the short walk over to the Gold Museum to learn more about it. Author Chris Worick has done extensive historical research on the bell and serves as the Chairman of the Chestatee River Diving Bell Committee.
