Geocache Description:


In the northeastern corner of Gainesville, Georgia is a small village named Rabbittown. When Gainesville eventually absorbed it, Rabbittown gradually disappeared from Georgia's maps and became a dim memory.
In the early 20th Century, when the New Holland Mill was still fully functioning, there was a heavy demand for rabbits. People were poor and they’d eat rabbit. Rabbittown actually got its name from David Highsmith. He raise rabbit’s and people would come from Gainesville and New Holland to buy rabbits from him. In the 1920s, Rabbittown had a population of about 20 or 30.

A few years ago Gainesville, GA began promoting itself as "Poultry Capital of the World," and even erected a big pillar with a life-size chicken on top (GC87B1). It made sense for Gainesville; poultry is a Meat World winner.

But the elevation of the chicken rubbed some folks in the former Rabbittown the wrong way; they erected their own big pillar, topped with a much-larger-than-life-size rabbit. "Rabbittown, GA," reads a plaque on its base, from a small village that was no longer hiding its past. The rabbit has an awkward alert pose of a chocolate Easter bunny, and makes a far more satisfying monument than the Gainesville chicken.

At the posted coords look for 2 clues.
