A film crew will be in Dade County, Ga., this week recording scenes for a History Channel show about how the state’s boundary lines came to be.
At least two Dade County residents have been interviewed for “How States Got Their Shapes” and said they’re scheduled to meet with a crew this week.
Most of the questions have been about the story of Dade County seceding from the Union just before the Civil War — getting out even before Georgia seceded — and rejoining the nation in 1945, according to county resident Donna Street.
“I’m fascinated by all the things they’re doing,” said Street, a retired teacher and amateur historian.
Bronagh Hanley, a spokesman for Half Yard Productions, said the company will have a film crew in Dade County on Tuesday and Wednesday, but said he could not say what show or network the crew was working. He said the air date is not known, but the company will send out more information closer to the time the show will run.
