Jackson (Georgia) Travel Guide — Things to Do, Food & Hotels

About Jackson (Georgia)

Settled in 1826, Jackson was a casualty of General William T. Sherman's March To The Sea campaign during the Civil War, as anyone who has seen some embers could probably understand. But then it got a boost when the railroads arrived after the war, and now is within striking distance of Atlanta for long-haul commuters. Jackson also happens to be where Georgia's maximum security and death row part of its penal system is located, but, that aside, it has some exemplary parks nearby.
