Farm at General Coffee State Park

Farm at General Coffee State Park 1

General Coffee State Park is a very underrated state park in rural southeast Georgia. One of the most interesting parts of the park is a working farm that they’ve preserved from the 1880s. It’s interesting both how modern farming was back then and also how difficult it was. There’s plenty of steam engines and mechanical tools, but it’s still very different. It’s interesting to be able to walk through and put hands on a way of a life that has completely disappeared.

    With so many Eastern Hemlocks dying, I’m always on the look out for a really good looking specimen. This one at Hardman Farm State Historic Site is one of the most symmetrical that I’ve ever seen.

    The Southern Appalachians are known for their waterfalls. There are tall, famous ones like Duke’s Creek, Amicalola, Ruby, Jack’s, etc but I also love finding smaller ones along an off-trail creek.
