The Civil War in Georgia was not only fought by men. This statewide driving tour follows the women who kept the home front alive and defiant: mill workers deported as traitors, nurses and hospital matrons, a bread-riot mob, an all-female militia, memorial-association founders who built the first Confederate cemeteries, and the diarists whose words survive them. Eight verified sites, north to south, ending as the Confederacy itself collapses in April 1865.
Women of Georgia's Civil War is a self-guided driving tour of Statewide, GA, built around its civilwar side.
The walk covers 8 stops over about 440.0 miles and roughly 12 hours, entirely at your own pace. Each stop's story unlocks on your phone the moment you arrive — GPS-triggered, hands-free, no guide and no tour group to keep up with.
