Historic Gainesville was awash with pedestrians on the sidewalks and lounging in the shade of Victorian homes Saturday as part of the Gainesville Ramble, an open-house event for historic houses. The event was hosted by the Georgia Trust for Historic Preservation and took place in several cities: Toccoa and Martin on Friday, Gainesville on Saturday and Clarkesville set for today. “We do these events twice a year in different cities across the state so our goal is to bring people to towns they’re not familiar with in the state and give them exposure,” said Brittany Darlington, Special Events Manager of the Georgia Trust for Historic Preservation.
