Jefferson Davis Memorial - 338 Jeff Davis Park Road, Fitzgerald, GA 31750
Phone (912) 831-2335 - NOTE: The site is managed and operated by Irwin County.
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 miles on GA Hwy 32 to Irwinville. Turn left on Jeff Davis Park Road and proceed one mile. |
