Georgia's Former Army Base Is Now A National Monument With Civil War Relics And Historic Trails

The U.S. state of Georgia may be best known for its bustling capital city, Atlanta, but the Peach State is also rich in history, being home to hundreds of Civil War battle sites. On Cockspur Island just outside Savannah, often called the friendliest U.S. city by tourists, sits a 19th-century fort known as Fort Pulaski. Once the site of a major siege during the Civil War, today the fort is a registered National Monument with historical relics and seaside trails open to the public. Visitors can explore the fort grounds inside and out via Ranger tours or self-guided discovery, learn something new at the Visitor Center, and walk and bike along scenic hiking paths.

Statesboro Mall in Statesboro, GA grew around Belk, raised its ceilings, and lost JCPenney. What's left now?

Belk moves to U.S. 80, and one bank blocks another. Belk had run its Statesboro store downtown since 1950. In 1970 the department store moved out to Northside Drive East, the local stretch of U.S. 80, on a site reached from Brannen Street and Lovett Road, and it was open there before the rest of the project was finished.

Generations of Flavor: Cowart’s Family Dining brings rich history and new expansions to Brooklet

There is a special recipe for success that the Cowart family has been perfecting for over 70 years, and it relies heavily on faith, family, and scratch-made Southern comfort food. For Cowart's Family Dining owners Jimmy and LaDonna Cowart , their recent move to Brooklet in 2026 wasn't just a new business chapter—it was an answer to a prayer. "I absolutely knew we would make it here because we prayed over our decision," LaDonna Cowart shared in a recent interview. "I felt like God closed other doors and then He just busted these doors wide open. The community is great, and we want to get more involved once we get settled." A Four-Generation Southern Legacy The Cowart culinary timeline is a rich tapestry that stretches back nearly a century. Before 1950, Jimmy’s great-grandparents, Ben and Bessie Cowart, operated a local bed and breakfast. In 1950, his grandparents, Oscar and Ollie Mae Cowart , officially established the original Cowart’s Restaurant downtown on Highway 280 and Bacon Street in Pembroke, Georgia. The business was later passed down to James and Sandra Cowart , famously serving up to 350 hearty breakfasts a day until their retirement in the early 1990s. Jimmy and LaDonna
