jackson has a very good selection of post civil war era victorian homes. because of the destruction of jackson in 1864 there are no antebellum homes that exist in the town. for those interested in architecture the residental neighborhoods near downtown are worth a look when in jackson.

Indian Springs is thought to be the oldest state park in the nation. It was acquired by the state in 1825 and became an official "State Forest Park" in 1927. The Creek Indians used the springs for centuries to heal the sick and impart extra vigor to the well. During the 1800s, the area was a bustling resort town. Today, visitors can still sample the spring water while enjoying the parks cottages, camping, swimming, fishing and boating. Many structures within the park, such as the spring house, were built during the Great Depression by members of FDRs Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC). A museum (hours limited) highlights Creek Indians, the resort era and CCC history.

Helpfulness
This postcard, printed in Germany, bears an Aug. 20, 1910 postmark from Jackson, Ga. The courthouse was completed in 1898. However, because the address side of the postcard has a space for personal messages (which was prohibited by federal law until March 1907), the photo probably dates to 1907-09.

As the name implies, this restaurant serves their drinks in real Mason jars.
The food is good, too. It is mainly southern food, but I am sure anybody will find something they will enjoy.
