Jenkins County, Georgia
There is nothing quite like Jenkins County, Georgia. It’s a part of rural America, but unfortunately it’s often overlooked. You’ll find it in the eastern part of the state, about an hour south of Augusta.
Millen is the county seat, situated in the center of the county. The Magnolia Springs State Park has crystal-clear water that once refreshed Civil War soldiers. Agriculture is the backbone of the economy here. Cotton fields and pecan groves fill the landscape.
The county’s history runs deep, dating back to 1905. Locals are proud of their roots. You’ll hear plenty of “yes ma’am” and “no sir” in this county. Friendliness is the tradition here.
