Nesbit Ferry
This ferry was located on the Chattahoochee River between Sandy Springs and Roswell. It is approximately 2 miles west of Holcomb Bridge. There are currently two Nesbit Ferry Roads, one in Sandy Springs and the other in Johns Creek. The Sandy Springs one, located in the Dunwoody Panhandle district, is an exclusive residential area with million dollar homes, some of which have views of the river.

Famous quotes containing the word ferry:
“What have Massachusetts and the North sent a few sane representatives to Congress for, of late years?... All their speeches put together and boiled down ... do not match for manly directness and force, and for simple truth, the few casual remarks of crazy John Brown on the floor of the Harper’s Ferry engine-house,—that man whom you are about to hang, to send to the other world, though not to represent you there.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
