GPB IN THE COMMUNITY

Join Us for A Virtual Scavenger Hunt or Take a Road Trip to See Georgia Icons Inspired by the New Series Iconic America: Our Symbols and Stories with David Rubenstein

If you didn’t watch the television premiere of Iconic America: Our Symbols and Stories with David Rubenstein on April 26, it’s not too late to catch up. Over the course of the eight-part series airing Wednesday nights at 10 p.m., Rubenstein examines the history of America through some of its most iconic symbols, objects and places, on location and in conversation with historical thinkers, community members and other experts. Audiences learn each symbol’s history and how its meaning has changed over time, using them as a gateway to understand America’s past and present.

Here at GPB, we are thinking about the many icons in Georgia that make our state an interesting and unique place. Check out the interactive map at on our website at gpb.org/iconic, where you’ll also find videos, articles and more. You may even be inspired to plan a road trip yourself to explore or go on a scavenger hunt to find one of several GPB Geocaches we’ve planted around the state. Follow us on social media to participate in virtual scavenger hunts as well!
