Description

Looking down the start of the "Main Road"on Ossabaw Island, south of Savannah, Georgia. The old growth live oaks form a tangled web of arching branches over the rutted path that runs the length of the island from North to South. The Main Road is said to be the oldest dirt road in continuous use in the USA. This makes a really nice metal print!

Ossabaw is Georgia's third largest barrier island, and is protected as a heritage preserve. The inner island is not accessible to tourists, boaters may not go past the beaches. The Ossabaw Island Foundation allows small groups to visit for scheduled cultural events. Archaeological evidence of human use of the island dates back over 4000 years.

I have an earlier image of "Ossabaw Main Road" available in a horizontal and square format..
