Business History Initiative Markers
Roadside historical markers can be found throughout Georgia, sharing the stories of our past in an easily identifiable and understandable format. As part of the Business History Initiative, GHS develops new historical markers telling the story of Georgia companies that have made important contributions to the development of our state and nation. These executive summaries are erected at sites of historical significance to the companies.
