Good Day Atlanta Viewer Information: November 2, 2020
ATLANTA - Exploring presidential history on the eve of Election Day:
It’s been an election season like no other before it — but tomorrow, people across the country will line up at the polls to vote for the next President of the United States. It’s a tradition that stretches back more than 200 years, and the story of our country’s commanders-in-chief is a fascinating one told in a one-of-a-kind exhibit at Cartersville’s Booth Western Art Museum.
We spent the morning exploring the Carolyn & James Millar Presidential Gallery at the Booth Museum, which houses a collection of signed letters from every United States president. The content and focus of each letter are vastly different, but each is accompanied by a portrait of the president and a collection of memorabilia.
We also got a look at the latest updates to artist Ross Rossin’s "Commanders in Chief," a stunning trio of portraits of our country’s presidents which greets visitors to the Presidential Gallery. A little backstory: the family of Harry and Brenda Patterson first bought the huge painting — a group portrait of the presidents of the 20th Century — and it’s become a popular attraction at the Booth. But more recently, the couple commissioned the artist to add two more canvasses, expanding the lineup to include every United States president from George Washington to Donald Trump.
The Booth Museum is currently open to visitors; advance tickets are required, and masks are strongly encouraged. The museum has also set up “virtual tours” of its galleries online.

Salted Caramel Apple Pie Recipe from Jamaal Nettles
Ingredients:
- Homemade pie crust (or store-bought is fine)
- Homemade salted caramel sauce (or store-bought)
- 6 large apples, cored, peeled, and thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 Tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (spoon & leveled)
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- Egg wash: 1 large egg beaten with 1 Tablespoon milk
- Optional: coarse sugar for sprinkling on crust
Instructions
Prepare pie crust
Make the caramel
Next, make the apple filling as the dough is still chilling: Place apple slices into a very large bowl. Add sugar, lemon juice, flour, cloves, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Gently toss to combine. Set aside.
Roll out the chilled pie dough: On a floured work surface, roll out one of the discs of chilled dough (keep the other one in the refrigerator). Turn the dough about a quarter turn after every few rolls until you have a circle 12 inches in diameter.
Carefully place the dough into a 9×2 inch pie dish. Tuck it in with your fingers, making sure it is smooth. With a small and sharp knife, trim the extra overhang of crust and crimp edge.
Fill the pie crust with the apples. There are a lot of apples but pile them tightly and very high. Drizzle with 1/2 cup of the salted caramel, reserving the rest for topping.
Preheat oven to 400°F (204°C).
Make the lattice crust: Remove the other disc of chilled pie dough from the refrigerator. Roll the dough out, 12 inches diameter. Using a pastry wheel, sharp knife, or pizza cutter, cut 10 to 14 1/2 inch wide strips
Carefully thread the strips over and under one another, pulling back strips as necessary to weave. Using a small and sharp knife, trim the extra overhang.
Lightly brush the lattice top with the egg wash. Sprinkle with coarse sugar.
Place the pie onto a large baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes. Keeping the pie in the oven, turn the temperature down to 375°F (190°C) and bake for an additional 40-50 minutes. If the top of your pie is getting too brown, cover loosely with aluminum foil. The pie will be done when the caramel begins to bubble up. A small knife inserted inside should come out relatively clean.
