When Confederate President Jefferson Davis and a few remaining staff members
crossed the Savannah River into Georgia on May 3, 1865, they were headed for the
Western Theater of War where Davis planned to unite rebel forces and continue
fighting for the "lost cause." On May 9th, they camped in this pine
forest, not knowing that pursuit was so close behind. At dawn, they were
surrounded by two independent groups of Union Calvary who were unaware of each
other's presence. Davis was taken prisoner.
Today, a monument marks the spot where he was arrested. You can tour the 13-acre
historic site that includes a museum, short trail, picnic tables, gift shop and
group picnic shelter.
Admission:
$1.75 - $3 Location
- From I-75 Exit #78, go east 14
