Historic Busbee Marker Unveiled
Friday, May 20th, 2016
While the historic marker that now stands as a permanent reminder of former Georgia Gov. George Busbee’s ties to Albany is intrinsically linked to the surviving members of Busbee’s family, the marker at Busbee’s former 1205 W. Third Ave. home is perhaps even more closely bound to businessman Billups “Bo” Johnson.
It was Johnson who spearheaded the two-year effort to have a marker placed on the site as a tribute to Busbee, the state’s first two-term governor, an effort that paid off Thursday with a dedication ceremony and an unveiling of the marker.
