Redan, Georgia at one time had a Train Depot and was a stop on the line headed to Atlanta. If you will look across the street from the old post office you will still see the Well where they got their water. It was also a stop for Wood for the train before the coal engines were running. One of my wife's uncles used to sell wood to the train and talked of buying land and cutting the trees down and then abandoning the land. He said he owned land all the way to St. Mt. at one time. People from this area rode the Train to town and back. Town at that time was possibly Stone Mountain since it had a depot and a few stores. My wife's uncles also talked about walking back to Redan from St. Mt. She had 8 uncles and 1 aunt. They were all raised in Redan and their Father owned the land where the Mystery Valley golf Course is now. If you have ever played golf there you may have heard of the unmarked grave behind #14 hole. There was a small indian village between the golf course and the train station. It was called Indian Pots because the indian's made pots there. This is just a little history that was passed on to me at reunions and visits to my wife's family.
