Members of the Waycross- Ware County Chamber of Commerce gathered at Southern Forest World Tuesday morning, hosting the ribbon cutting for the opening of the Brasstown Bald fire tower. The tower was erected on Brasstown bald in 1947, before being replaced and dismantled in 1965.

In recent years, preparations were made to open the tower to the public, with grants being written, and Ware County High School students reflooring the structure.
