Can you resolve this Oakhurst mystery?

What is buried under Oakview Road in Decatur’s Oakhurst neighborhood?

A) A time capsule, placed there by prominent local woman Georgia Adams in 1910

B) A Confederate soldier

C) The pistol used to kill Commodore Stephen Decatur in a duel

D) The remnants of a trolley line

If you don’t know the answer, it’s time to brush up on your Oakhurst history! And another Oakhurst walking tour is coming up, just in time.

We’ll meet in front of the One Step at a Time running shoe store, at 650-B East Lake Boulevard in Oakhurst Village, at 3 p.m. on Sunday, October 11. In case of rain, it will be the same time and place on the following Sunday, October 18.

There have been a lot of interesting events in the Oakhurst area over the years, including some that happened during the Civil War. If you haven’t been on a tour in the past, here’s your chance. And if you have, you’re welcome to come again. Neighborhood resident Jack Krost conducts them every year with friend and neighbor Charles Cope. They’re free. Just send Jack an RSVP at jkrost [at] aol.com to let us know you’re interested.
