The Indian Summer Festival was organized in 1977 for the purpose of helping Woody Gap School. This school, nestled in the North GA mountains in the community of Suches, is the smallest public school in the state of Georgia. With an altitude of 2, 590 feet, the area is known as the Valley Above the Clouds. The citizens of the area have always desired to provide the very best educational experience possible to the children of the community. The strength and spirit from the people of the community have inspired students for generations. Originally, education was provided in five schools which were scattered throughout the Suches area, with one or two teachers at each location. Woody Gap School was created in 1936, funded by Union County and by the Works Progress Administration (a program created by Franklin Delano Roosevelt). Labor was provided by the WPA. The school is built on the land where Civil War Governor Joe Brown lived on his farm. Native granite was used for the stone building, which is still in use today. Contributions to the school included tables built in the schoolhouse basement, volunteer work in the lunchroom, produce hauled from local farms, and wood chopped for the heaters that warmed the classrooms. Throughout the years, the Union County School System has installed central heat; built a gymnasium, lunchroom and kitchen facility, a media center, and a vocational building; fenced in ball fields; created recreational areas; paved the tennis courts; obtained computers; renovated the interior of the rock building - which included adding central air and renovation of the auditorium; created a garden; erected pioneer-style buildings; and built a modern gym. Funds from the Indian Summer Festival over the years have helped purchase sports equipment, uniforms, trophies, computers, electronic equipment, learning devices, and much more. ​ The community of Suches invites you to join in the Indian Summer Festival fun! See our school, enjoy the mountains that inspire us, breathe the fresh, clean air that invigorates us, and catch the spirit of the mountain people. We hope you'll take pride in being such an important part of the festival's purpose. Enjoy your visit and come back soon! ​
