Washington County, Georgia
Washington County is located in central Georgia. It’s about halfway between Atlanta and Savannah, with Sandersville serving as the county seat. People work hard here and look out for each other.
This place has seen its share of history. It’s named after George Washington, and Sherman’s troops marched through during the Civil War. Kaolin mining is the backbone of the economy here.
Summer is scorching hot but fall brings hunters to the county’s vast woods. The Sandersville Railroad connects industries. Meanwhile, the Kaolin Festival livens things up each fall. Washington County might not make the tourist brochures, but it has grit.
