Green anoles (Anolis carolinensis) live in trees, shrubs, vines, and tall grasses. These lizards can often be found on fences and walls. Green anoles are also known as chameleons because they can quickly change color from green (when they fight) to brown (during cool weather).

The Habershams—James and his sons, James Jr., Joseph, and John—were prominent in the economic and political life of colonial, revolutionary, and early national Georgia. Their connection with Georgia history began with the arrival of James Habersham (ca. 1712-75) in colonial Georgia in 1738. Although trained as a merchant in his uncle’s firm in London, England, James Habersham developed a strong religious friendship with George Whitefield and, when asked, accompanied the evangelist to Georgia as a teacher.

Tourism is Georgia’s second largest industry, and in 2004 it contributed $26 billion to the state’s economy. By marketing historic downtowns and neighborhoods, house museums, landscapes, and archaeological sites alongside nearby attractions, communities can enhance their appeal to tourists. To be successful, the historic properties must be properly maintained, accessible to the public, and accurately interpreted. Archaeological and historic properties play an important role in the tourism economies of Augusta, Macon, coastal Georgia, and the Georgia mountains.
