Abbeville

Driving through rural Georgia does not offer a lot to look at. Many trees, fields, and scattered mobile homes. When we came to this building, I had to stop and see what was going on. We had not seen anything for a few hours with the exception of a few wooden structures.
As it is labeled, this is the Wicox County Court House. Located in Abbeville, Georgia. It is a beautiful building placed where nobody will ever find it. There was a monument near the flag poles, dedicated to the confederate soldiers who fought for the South during the Civil War. There were a few statues located across the street from the building also.

This was the spot that Jefferson Davis, the first and ONLY President of the Confederate States, camped the night prior to his capture.

He was traveling with his wife and children. Also in his group were the post master general, and the Governor of Texas. Why was the post master with him? Is that kinda like taking your mailbox with you on vacation?

At this point in the war, it was starting to look kinda bad for these guys and Atlanta was being threatened.

This group was on their way to try and make a peace deal. Funny how you refuse peace until you have all but lost.


I wonder if they stopped to eat at this cafe during their last dinner together? The restaurant (I'm really not sure if that is the right word to use) is located across from the courthouse.
