History Excursion to Coolidge and Pavo
Advertisement
Our next road trip adventure takes us to Coolidge and Pavo, Georgia. Coolidge is the youngest town of Thomas County, with its formation date in 1901. The area was once part of the settlement of Ways and was home to yeoman farmers, many of whom came to Thomas County to escape the destruction of North Georgia by General Sherman's army during the Civil War. Not far above Coolidge, the town of Pavo sits on the county line dividing Thomas County and Brooks County. Originally called McDonald, after 1898 the name was changed to "Pavo," the Latin word for "peacock" which happened to be the postmaster's last name.
Guests are asked to wear comfortable walking clothes and closed-toe shoes. Some ventures may involve wandering off the beaten path. Water will be available but it is recommended to bring a water bottle. Lunch and additional purchases made during the Road Trip are not included in the ticket price.
Transportation is provided, with the option to drive separately if preferred. Lunch is not included. Tickets are available for purchase online, and a detailed itinerary will be shared with registered participants closer to the excursion date.
