silent film of Athens Georgia in 1947

This 16mm color amateur film of scenes in and around Athens was made by Joel A. Wier who was, at that time, Executive Director of the Athens Housing Authority as well as Director of the Athens Chamber of Commerce (1931-1949). This short clip (14 mins.) is excerpted from the full film (approx. 45 mins.) and is silent.
