Earlier this month I traveled 2 hours outside of Atlanta to Dixieland (a.k.a. Bostwick, GA). I saw far too many confederate flags and almost ran over a rooster, but the sights were worth it. The trip was planned mainly to visit a plantation home, built in 1906. It was absolutely wonderful, despite that its windows were recently boarded and it was fairly dark inside. Getting lost, we found another historic home that had suffered major fire damage. Researching afterwards I found its construction predated the plantation's, having been built in 1883. Lastly, we visited the "downtown" which spanned under two blocks. Nearly all of its buildings were abandoned. My favorite was the "Dixie King" cotton warehouse.
