Georgia’s Revolutionary War History Explored Through 2,000 Roadside Markers

A podcast is shedding new light on Georgia’s one-of-a-kind role in America’s revolutionary history — and it’s doing so one roadside marker at a time.

NPR’s Don Gonyea recently spoke with Andrew Iden, the Executive Producer of Marked!: The Podcast, a series that explores Georgia’s involvement in the American Revolution through the lens of the state’s roughly 2,000 roadside historical markers.

The conversation delved into how those markers — the kind drivers often pass without a second glance — actually hold the key to understanding what made Georgia’s experience during the revolutionary period stand apart from the other colonies.
