Scopes have been around since the 18th century, and they've come a long way. In Douglasville, Georgia, there is an old scope museum that features some of the most amazing examples of this type of equipment. The museum was started in 1978 by local citizen Doug Smith, and it now contains over 50 scopes from all over the world. One of the most impressive pieces on display is a 12-meter telescope built by Professor Edward A. Condon in 1909. It's one of only two such telescopes still in use today. It's also interesting to note that Scopes were not always used for hunting or observing; they were originally designed to be used for teaching children about astronomy. Many of these scopes are still being used today, and they're often used for research purposes as well. It's definitely worth checking out the museum if you're ever in Douglasville!
There are many scopes on the market today and each one has its own unique features, capabilities, and benefits. When it comes to scopes, there are two main types: bottom-of-the-line models and higher end models. The two main types of scopes are objective lens scopes and reflex optic scopes. Bottom-of-the-line models offer the lowest price point but tend to have lower quality features than higher end models. They often lack features that are important to users such as magnification or a digital viewfinder. In addition, they may not be able to handle high magnification settings well or have other special features that can make them better choices for specific tasks such as bird watching or hunting. Higher end models offer a more expensive price point but also include better quality features and greater magnification options. They can be used for more serious purposes such as birdwatching or hunting where budget is not an issue. Reflex optic scopes are designed specifically for birdwatching and allow users to see birds in their natural environment without having to rely on outside light sources. They use a mirror instead of an eyepiece which makes them easier to adjust focus while you watch your subject from any angle possible. Additionally, reflex optics provide a more realistic image because they reflect the light back into your eyes rather than just projecting it out front like an eyepiece does.
The first scopes were designed in 1792 by Nicholas-Jacques Conte. The company that produced the first telescope, "Nicholson and Porter", was founded in 1825 by John Nicholson. In 1851, Jameson and Company began producing telescopes based on the original design of Nicholas-Jacques Conte. In 1876, American Institute of Physics developed a new design for a single eyepiece telescope called the "Atcherley". This telescope became very popular and helped to change the way people see the world around them.

The focus for most development outside agriculture until well into the 20th century occurred within agriculture especially if one looked towards downtown where many large stores such as Sears Roebuck& Co., Jardine Bros., Griggs Hardware Company etc were built beginning around 1910 – 1920.
Douglasville flourished during Reconstruction due largely to its position along Interstate 20 which made goods available quickly throughout much of Southeast Georgia
