Creating a city; the planning and development of Peachtree City

Peachtree City is one of few planned communities in the United States, and it wasn't an American idea!  Tune in to discover how a chance meeting put Peachtree City where it is today and who the primary players were in designing the area. 

Join me in my talk with Jill Prouty, Director of Peachtree City Public Library, and manager of the Joel Cowan History Room, as we talk about how Peachtree City was born!
