Photo and Film Credits

The short answer

Every photograph on Dahlonega Closing Guide is a real photograph of Dahlonega or Lumpkin County, Georgia, credited to its photographer and license, mostly from Wikimedia Commons. The home page film is cut from real photographs with slow pans and dissolves; nothing in it is generated. Captions say only what each photo shows, and the dates come from the original records.
