Georgia

Sherman’s March to the Sea left behind a smoldering Atlanta and a haunted Savannah, but Georgia history often follows reckonings with stories of resilience. Tour the legacy of a home worth rebuilding with a midnight train from Cumberland Island over to Macon. Take advantage of the unobstructed vistas of Rock City in the North Georgia mountains or the panorama offered by a Delta window seat. Pop open a Stuckey’s Pecan Log Roll and peruse our catalogue of Georgia history books. [View all Georgia books]

Join author Caroline Eubanks on a behind-the-scenes look at the people, places and drinks behind the city. Even when it was still called Terminus, Atlanta was earning a raucous reputation as a hub for hard-drinking railroad workers. The first mayor, a saloon owner from the appropriately named Free and Rowdy Party, only cemented the town’s party credentials. What followed was more than a century of moonshiners, dollar bill–covered dives, exotic dancers, speakeasies and underground taverns, wild parties on both land and water and, of course, drinks. These spaces—like the all-night Backstreet club, the storied Manuel’s Tavern and futuristic Polaris—became launching pads for political campaigns, musical groups and drag superstars while also serving as a respite for everyday locals.
