The grave of Rev.

His story helps explain why Midway became such an unusually literate, civically minded, and tightly knit settlement, and why its church and cemetery still feel anchored in that eighteenth‑century world. The marker reads, "This is the grave of Rev. Mr. John Osgood, who came to Midway with the first settlers in 1754 from Dorchester, S.C., and served them faithfully as their minister and friend until his final sermon, May 5, 1773. born in Dorchester, one of their own people, Mr. Osgood received part of his education from their old pastor, the Rev. Mr. Fisher, and was graduated from Harvard in 1733. Ordained to the pastoral charge of the Congregational Church November 24, 1735, the Rev. Mr. Osgood ministered to these people, in Dorchester and in Midway, for 38 years. He died on august 2, 1773."

It is marker number 089-12B and it was erected in 1957 by Georgia Historical Commission. It blends naturally into the quiet dignity of the cemetery. The surrounding wall looks as if it has been here for generations, and the headstones, though weathered, still speak clearly of the colonial families who shaped Liberty County.

Midway always surprises you. For a place that feels quiet today, sitting at the crossing of US‑17…read moreand US‑84 with its churchyard pines and faint coastal breeze, it carries an outsized share of early American history. The landscape looks modest now, but in the eighteenth century this was the heart of Saint Johns Parish, a community of educated, politically assertive New England transplants whose influence reached far beyond the marshes around them. The marker for Nathan Brownson fits neatly into that pattern, another reminder that this small corner of Liberty County produced leaders who helped shape both Georgia and the nation. This marker tells the history of another such historic figure. It reads, "Georgia Colonial governor, trustee of the proposed University of Georgia, physician, Nathan Brownson became governor of Georgia in 1781, serving until Jan. 1782. Prior to this time Brownson served as a member of the Provencial Congress which met in Savannah July 4, 1775. He was, also, a delegate to the Continental Congress from 1776-1778 and was surgeon to a Georgia brigade. "Born in Connecticut in 1742, a graduate of Yale College, Brownson studied medicine and practiced that profession in his home state, moving to St. John`s Parish (now Liberty County), Georgia in 1764. Active in the cause of liberty, Brownson became one of the leaders in the revolutionary cause. He was one of the delegates to the state convention that ratified the U.S. Constitution in Augusta on 31 December 1787. "Nathan Brownson died in Liberty County October 18, 1796, being best remembered as governor and as one of the founders of the University of Georgia." The marker itself carries no number, but it was placed in 1992 by the Georgia State Society and the Daughters of the American Colonists, adding one more chapter to Midway's long habit of honoring the people who shaped its identity. It stands quietly at the roadside, yet it points to a life woven deeply into the story of Georgia's independence, its early government, and its commitment to education, all rooted in a community that still feels the echoes of its revolutionary past.

In some ways it worked out, because the marker does a surprisingly good job of sketching the deep roots of this little community and reminding you that Midway was never just another coastal settlement tucked between Savannah and Darien. The marker reads, "Established by South Carolina Calvinists of English and Scottish extraction in 1752, the small settlement of Midway became 'the cradle of the Revolutionary spirit in Georgia'. Two of Georgia's three signers of the Declaration of Independence, Lyman Hall and Button Gwinnett, were sons of Midway, as were four Revolutionary Governors of the young state. "Exhibits, documents and furnishings housed in the Midway Museum commemorate and reanimate the love of liberty which distinguished the Midway Society from the Colonial period through its last meeting in December 1865. "Built in 1957, the Museum is owned and administered by the Midway Museum, Inc., organized by the Saint John's Parish Chapter, Daughters of the American Colonists and by the Liberty County Chapter, United Daughters of the Confederacy." The marker does not have a number. It was erected in 1990 by the National Society Daughters of the American Colonists Georgia State Society. For now it serves as a helpful preview of what waits inside the museum, and it adds another thread to the larger story of Midway, a place where the past still feels close enough to touch even when the doors are locked for the day.

My only complain was the bread, yes, the bread was pretty bad. I gave them 3 stars because I felt they needed a better variety of meats and the salad was also a bit boring. The price for the buffet was $10 dollars per person so I guess its not too bad. I can't say I will go out of my way to come back here, there are plenty other restaurants I can introduce my pallet to.

It summarizes his public career, but the fuller story behind his name adds even more texture to this quiet corner of Liberty County, because Gwinnett was both a political idealist and a man whose ambitions and rivalries shaped early Georgia in dramatic ways. The marker reads, "In this, Saint John's Parish, (now Liberty County), lived Button Gwinnett, signer of the Declaration of Independence, member of the Continental Congress, Speaker of the Assembly, and President of the Executive Council. He also was a member of the Convention that met in Savannah in October, 1776, in which he played a prominent part in drafting the first Constitution of the State of Georgia. "Born in Gloucestershire, England, in 1735, son of a Church of England vicar, Button Gwinnett came to Georgia in 1765 and acquired a store in Savannah. He shortly purchased St. Catherines Island in this parish. He moved to the island at once and engaged in farming and cattle raising. His business was transacted in Sunbury, then a thriving port. "On May 16, 1777, Mr. Gwinnett was mortally wounded in a duel fought on the outskirts of Savannah with Gen. Lachlan McIntosh, dying on May 19. Mr. Gwinnett's grave is supposedly in Savannah, but its exact location is unknown and unmarked. One of his rare autographs sold for over $50,000." It is marker number 089-2 and was erected in 1954 by the Georgia Historical Commission. When you look at the Declaration of Independence, his is the first signature in the left-most column.
