The last time I was there was a little over a year ago, but I took some pictures and took the time to really look around. They have so many engaging things for children to do. The planetarium is really unique in the area. They have trains in the back and even have large models inside the trains for children to look at (at their eye level too!). They have different exhibits at different times, but there is generally always something interesting and educational here. I remember there being exhibits related to dinosaurs, electricity, and old newspaper clippings all over the place with interesting stories about Albany's history. Definitely worth giving a once over if you're only visiting Albany.

How about because in spite of its unnoticed location , this is absolutely one of the coolest, most fascinating museums I've ever been in. Really. It has, for starters, the largest collection of telephones and phone memorabilia in the world. It's huge, and the diversity of exhibits is both impressive and appealing. There are rare phones from the 1880w including a 50-line switchboard from 1882! There's a large display of pay telephones among them a silver dollar phone (you dropped silver dollars into the pay slot; operators could tell if you cheated by the sound of the coin hitting the tin bottom). There are telephone poles, service trucks (an early Model A), a replica of Alexander Graham Bell's workshop and liquid transmitter through which sounds were sent as early as 1876. And lots more. There's a delightful guided tour by folks who know the museum's holdings inside out with lots of good stories. There's also a small admission fee; you'll almost certainly think this visit is worth far more. I stopped by just for fun, but stayed for several hours quite transfixed. I know it may seem off-the-wall, and I suppose it is, but I'm betting you'll thoroughly enjoy a stop here. It's located 22 miles along Highway 280 some 22 miles from Cordele at exit 101 off I-75. There's even a wonderful family restaurant a few miles away to complete your visit (please see my reviews for details).

And when the battle was over, drummer boys were also relied upon to police the field, helping to carry wounded men to the hospital tents, and to bury the slain." Boys as young as 9-12yrs would sometimes run away from home to enlist to become drummer boys in the Civil War. Some believe that the youngest soldier killed during the entire American Civil War was a 13 year-old drummer boy named Charles King. The drums were an important part of the battlefield communications system to signal different commands like "attack" or "retreat". When the fighting began, drummers generally moved to the rear and stayed away from the shooting. Drummers were assigned to infantry regiments and buglers were assigned to cavalry or horse artillery. Drummers were often expected to help the medical personnel by working in makeshift field hospitals, assisting surgeons during battlefield amputations by helping to hold down patients, or maybe called up to carry away the severed limbs. They were also called stretcher bearers; hence, they walked around the battlefield looking for the wounded and brought them to medical care. Twenty-eight army musicians received the Medal of Honor during the American Civil War.
