They’ve shared photos of the store’s interior and it’s like a time capsule from 1976 - fully stocked shelves, and a calendar on the wall.#paoliga #oldstore #ruralgeorgia #madisoncountyga

Their Facebook page says that they have been a Hartwell breakfast spot for over 20 years, but it seems like they’ve only been at this location for a few years. And I’m still sad I missed out on a biscuit.#hartwellga #smalltowngeorgia #biscuits #georgiarestaurant

The Hartwell Sun has references to a “flourishing Vanna School” dating from 1907. The town was incorporated in 1912. I found one article that said the school continued until its students were moved to the Eagle Grove School (also now abandoned) in 1963, so it’s possible it was in use until then.

The archives at UGA hold church records for Rock Branch dating back to 1845, so the congregation has been around for at least that long. This building is circa 1904.#georgiachurch #ruralgeorgia #elbertcountyga
