We were cruising down the GA backroads when Finn had to go potty NOW (his poison ivy has been hard on his stomach too). Chris pulled over at the first driveway we came to and just by lucky chance, it ended up being the callaway (golf) plantation. It is now a historical site so we got a tour. The land was originally given to Mr callaway for payment for his service in the revolutionary war. The family also served in the civil war and had over 100 slaves working in the cotton fields. It was impressive to see the beautiful furnishings and to get the feel of the plantation. It was moving to sit in the rocking chairs on the front porch and imagine the conversations they must have had in that same spot about the civil war, slavery and president Lincoln.
