Long Weekend
2 days · ~210 miles · from Milledgeville, GA
Georgia's antebellum capital to the sea by the route the Union army burned across in 1864 — old statehouses, market squares, a prison camp and the creek where the march turned tragic.
This trip chains: Sherman's March to the Sea
Georgia's Old Capital and the Governor's Mansion Sherman used as headquarters, then east through Louisville's 1795 market house to Magnolia Springs, where Camp Lawton's stockade held Union prisoners. Overnight near Millen.
The quiet horror of Ebenezer Creek and the 1769 Jerusalem Lutheran Church at New Ebenezer, then into Savannah — the Green-Meldrim House, where Sherman offered the city to Lincoln as a Christmas gift.
