Quick day trip out with the girls. The location was easy to find when following the gps. However on…read morearrival I did a double take to make sure at the right place. It's located off a residential street and could easily pass for a house itself. I'm not a huge fan of muscadine wines but I gave them all a try anyway. The tasting room is small but cute, and there was no one else there on a Saturday afternoon. The employee wasn't knowledgeable at all in regards to the wines and pairings. No cheese and crackers were available. The also had wine slushies which was pretty good.

Enjoyed a lovely afternoon with our women's literary club at the Wold Creek Plantation. We learned…read moreabout winemaking in general, and also about the muscadine wines made at this venue. Fascinating information and fun tour of the facility. Followed that with a tasting of their various reds, whites, blushes, and fruit flavored offerings - all while socially distanced under the large covered outdoor seating area. The grounds and vineyards are lovely! And of course, the afternoon ended with a visit inside the small bar and store to bring home some of the well-priced favorite bottles. Will be back, and happy that they have an small bistro in downtown americus as well - for happy hours or gatherings or just to enjoy a wine slushie on a warm day.

It turns out no one else has written about the Telephone Museum before. No surprise. It's in…read moreLeslie, which hardly anyone could find on a Georgia map, and it's 22 miles from the closest interstate exit. So why should you care, or want to plan a trip here? How about because in spite of its unnoticed location , this is absolutely one of the coolest, most fascinating museums I've ever been in. Really. It has, for starters, the largest collection of telephones and phone memorabilia in the world. It's huge, and the diversity of exhibits is both impressive and appealing. There are rare phones from the 1880w including a 50-line switchboard from 1882! There's a large display of pay telephones among them a silver dollar phone (you dropped silver dollars into the pay slot; operators could tell if you cheated by the sound of the coin hitting the tin bottom). There are telephone poles, service trucks (an early Model A), a replica of Alexander Graham Bell's workshop and liquid transmitter through which sounds were sent as early as 1876. And lots more. There's a delightful guided tour by folks who know the museum's holdings inside out with lots of good stories. There's also a small admission fee; you'll almost certainly think this visit is worth far more. I stopped by just for fun, but stayed for several hours quite transfixed. I know it may seem off-the-wall, and I suppose it is, but I'm betting you'll thoroughly enjoy a stop here. It's located 22 miles along Highway 280 some 22 miles from Cordele at exit 101 off I-75. There's even a wonderful family restaurant a few miles away to complete your visit (please see my reviews for details).

This is only the third review in ten years? Hard to believe given how incredible this place is…read more We call it "The House on the Rock of Telephones." There are more candlestick phones here than I've seen in my entire life! The folks that run the Museum are so friendly and willing to give you background/history of anything related to the Museum. I can go on but the other reviewers pretty much covered the details. All I can add is GO SEE IT - you won't be disappointed.

And when the battle was over, drummer boys were also relied upon to police the field, helping to carry wounded men to the hospital tents, and to bury the slain." Boys as young as 9-12yrs would sometimes run away from home to enlist to become drummer boys in the Civil War. Some believe that the youngest soldier killed during the entire American Civil War was a 13 year-old drummer boy named Charles King. The drums were an important part of the battlefield communications system to signal different commands like "attack" or "retreat". When the fighting began, drummers generally moved to the rear and stayed away from the shooting. Drummers were assigned to infantry regiments and buglers were assigned to cavalry or horse artillery. Drummers were often expected to help the medical personnel by working in makeshift field hospitals, assisting surgeons during battlefield amputations by helping to hold down patients, or maybe called up to carry away the severed limbs. They were also called stretcher bearers; hence, they walked around the battlefield looking for the wounded and brought them to medical care. Twenty-eight army musicians received the Medal of Honor during the American Civil War.
