Visitors will find good signage that tells the story of the fateful day. The annual remembrance ceremony is moving and respectful of those from both armies who fell there. While Newnan was primarily a hospital town, the unplanned meeting of blue and gray in downtown spilled over into a farmer's quiet field a few miles away. In sad irony, the Union soldiers who aimed to free their brothers from the Andersonville POW camp were captured at Brown's Mill and wound up prisoners beside their intended beneficiaries.

NEWNAN'S CIVIL WAR HISTORY!…read more Georgia has a very rich history when it comes to the Civil War and I love being able to explore that history every time I get an opportunity to do so. Brown's Mill Battlefield Park is a 104-acre site that is dedicated to the Confederate and Union soldiers who fought and died there on July 30, 1864, and to the Confederate and Union medical staff who attended to the wounded after the battle. The historic site, featuring walking trails and interpretive signs, is the only Civil War park south of Atlanta and one of only two in the nation featuring a cavalry battle. It is located a few miles southwest of downtown Newnan on Millard Farmer Road. The Battle of Brown's Mill was a significant battle that was fought on July 30, 1864, during the Atlanta Campaign. Union General McCook and his men were surprised and attacked at Brown's Mill while returning from destroying railroads, supply wagons and even personal property. McCook suffered a major defeat, and lost over 1280 men and countless supplies, while Confederate officer General Wheeler only lost just a fraction of that number (thanks to the assistance of about 1400 reinforcements). This battle had a significant effect on Sherman's decision to aggressively go after Atlanta and we all know how that ended. This site is a very large and isolated park, surrounded by woods. I could not imagine exploring this place alone and would only feel comfortable here with a large group during organized activities. I do hope that they have some commemorative activities scheduled so that the local community is able to learn about the history of this site and its role in the Civil War.

It was mostly "on our way", so we took the small detour to see what was there. SUPER interesting if you're into that sort of history. A bit disappointing when you realize what "really nice" was back in the day (tiny rooms, small house, etc). Like - this was a president's retreat. It was very peaceful there, and I can see why FDR loved it. I found it very informative. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We could have spent more time here, but had to get back on the road. I'd recommend it for an educational stop if you're in the area.

Once you turn off the road, it is a very short drive to the visitor's center. There is a small parking lot (about 10 cars). The center is a very nice building with a counter manned by a ranger, a small movie about the site, and a gift shop. You enter and pay at the counter and then go on the self-guided tour around the site. The tri-fold brochure was very well done and describes the various parts of the site. There are signs at each of the various locations to describe the buildings and activities nearby. The site has houses from different eras. You can actually walk through them. There are engine house, blacksmith shop, evaporator house, wheat house, and more. There are paths to go around the site but some of them are steep so be careful. The entire sight was extremely informative and had a lot for any student interested in history. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. I highly recommend this site to anyone interested in the history of the area. Enjoy.

The path is behind a church with multiple buildings that make it feel a lot like a 19th Century religious compound (not implying that it is). Prior to coming here I actually thought this was one of the last remaining historic bridges in the state of Georgia, but it turns out it was built in the 90's. The path allows you to wander through a variety of memorial trees and vegetation that I can only assume were planted in memory of church member loved ones. Most everything has a small plaque with the name of the person whom it was planted for (or by). The bridge itself is a real beauty and is said to have made use of 100 year old timbers from another old 1800's bridge that was once nearby. It certainly is one of the most handsome covered bridges in the state, even if it isn't a historic one. Location: Shiloh United Methodist Church Built: 1994 Length: 42 feet Crosses over: essentially what would be considered a drainage ditch. FINAL THOUGHTS You don't actually have to park in the church parking lot and walk the trail to see this bridge. Turn South on Davenport Mill Road and the bridge is less than 100 feet from the road and easily visible. My Georgia covered bridge list is nearly complete. I've provided a list below of all the covered bridges I've visited so far in the state from the furthest north to the deepest south. I've also included the year they were built: Stovall Mill ~ 1895 [furthest north] Blind Susie ~ 1915 [shortest] Poole's Mill ~ 1906 Cromer's Mill ~ 1906 Mashburn Estate ~ 1958 [private - no access to the public] Hurricane Shoals ~ 1882/2002 Euharlee ~ 1886 Roswell Vickery Creek ~ 2004 Watson Mill ~ 1885 [longest] Howard's Mill ~ 1905 Concord/Nickajack ~ 1872 Stone Mountain/Effie's ~ 1891 Elder's Mill ~ 1897 Shiloh Trail ~ 1994 [furthest west] Haralson Mill ~ 1997 Old Town Morrow ~ 2008 [newest] Big Red Oak Creek ~ 1840 [oldest] Calloway Gardens ~ 1870 Auchumpkee ~ 1892/1997 [favorite] Parrish Mill @ George L. Smith State Park ~ 1880 [furthest east] Coheelee Creek ~ 1891[furthest south] There are at least 25 more, but most are small, have been built in the last 50 years and are on private property.
