“Spirits from Nature” With Barbara Odil at Achasta
Linger Longer Living is bringing a very special exhibit of artwork to Achasta this month as part of its Linger Longer Living series. This month residents will have the unique opportunity to see natural artwork at the “Spirits from Nature” art showing.
Barbara Odil is a renowned artist who draws her inspiration from nature and native cultures. Odil resides in a hardwood forest allowing her to draw inspiration for her work daily. Although she started at a young age by making jewelry and metalworking, she now focuses on figurative sculptures. Her work is made of wild harvest materials she collects from nature. These figures are a celebration of the natural world and Achasta residents will have the unique opportunity to see Odil’s work and meet her.

The Diving Bell of Dahlonega To Be Restored
The historic Diving Bell, which was once situated in the Chestatee River, is currently on its way to Gainesville to get a touch up before it goes on display at Hancock Park in Dahlonega.
What a lot of North Georgia Mountain residents don’t know is that the diving bell was actually sitting in the portion of the Chestatee River that runs right though Achasta. Back in the 1870s, miners would use the diving bell as a means to mine the deeper waters of the river. The bell provided divers with a room filled with air that could be placed on the bottom of the river where they could sift through silt in search of gold.
The steamboat ship that actually carried the bell was recently discovered near the 18th hole of the Achasta Golf Course confirming the Diving Bell’s use.
