I finally got to cross this off my bucket list of places near me to visit. I went on Saturday,…read moreFebruary 2. First off, it's a nice little museum/bookstore in a literal brick and mortar store. There is free street parking along the strip of stores and across the street. Be advised that its on a busy(ish) street. I got there around 2:45-3 pm. I'm glad I did as the museum closes at 4 pm. When you do a search online it says they close at 5 pm, which is contrary to what their posted hours are. When you walk in it opens to the small bookstore/shop area. They carry only books by Georgia authors, which I absolutely love. To the right, the space opens up to a coffee shop but they had a partition of chairs blocking entrance because the coffee shop had closed for the day. I had no idea there was an attached coffee shop so I will definitely come back to check it out. I believe the coffeeshop closes at 2 pm. Two-thirds of the space is devoted to their exhibitions. The main exhibitions focus on Flannery O'Connor, Alice Walker, Joel Chandler Harris, and Sidney Lanier who are authors either born in or not too far from Eatonton. Overall, it's a pretty cool little museum/bookstore with an attached coffee shop. I ended up buying a book and one of the decorative glass cups. I was told by the staff person about an upcoming author/writer event they were having. Loved my time there. Will definitely pop over again especially to check out the coffeeshop. Explanation of rating: I deducted a star because of the hours which were different and not knowing they had a coffeeshop which I would have loved to check out.

Really appreciated this little space in downtown Eatonton. I've been through the town a number of…read moretimes to visit spaces associated with one of my favorite writers, Alice Walker. I'm not sure why I never took the time to see if there was an actual museum in the area, but on a recent trip I decided to take a look and found the Georgia Writers Museum. I stopped in on a Friday (the museum is only open a few days a week, so make sure to check the hours of operation before making a trip). It's free to visit, but there are ways to financially support the museum if you're able to do so. (Donations, or purchasing something from the gift shop, which actually has a really decent selection.) The museum itself was pretty small, but very well taken care of, and a really great jumping off point if you're in the area to learn about the local writers. (Both Alice Walker and Flannery O'Conner lived in the area, and there are places to visit associated with both writers for anyone wanting to learn more about them.) There was a clean restroom, and street parking was free and easy even in the downtown setting. The staff were incredibly friendly and knowledgable. A very solid little stop for anyone interested in learning about the rich history of writers from Georgia.

He said he was too slammed to get to us today, so I said I would keep looking and call if we needed him. Got insane quote from a competitor and was wondering what to do when Joel texted on Friday night asking if we still needed help. I was floored at the follow-up! He was here on Saturday sooner than promised, explained what needed to be done, and gave a clear, reasonable estimate. Returned on Sunday to install the new pump, valve, etc. We couldn't be happier with the service, price, and technical expertise. Incredibly rare these days! Thank you, Joel and team.

Valley Propane has been supplying our propane for years, and this past week they went far beyond…read morewhat anyone could reasonably expect. After hours, during a winter storm, we noticed a red warning light on our generator shortly after a propane refill. The generator was not sold or installed by Valley Propane, but we were understandably concerned and unsure what to do. I left a message, and the owner called back right away. He patiently walked us through how to reset the system step by step. Communication wasn't easy -- my husband has hearing challenges and I was relaying instructions -- but he was calm, kind, and never rushed us. He treated the situation as if it mattered, because it did. A few days later, he called again just to make sure everything was still running properly. That level of follow-up and care is rare. He didn't have to help -- it wasn't his equipment -- but he did anyway, and it made all the difference during a stressful winter week. Family-owned since 1998, and it shows. If you want a propane company that truly looks out for its customers, Valley Propane is it. Helyn
