The grave of Rev. John Osgood is not just a burial site but a reminder of the Congregationalist migration that shaped Saint Johns Parish, a movement of families who carried New England religious culture into the Georgia Lowcountry long before the Revolution. 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.

Very impressed with the customer service and cleanliness. There was also plenty parking space…read more The buffet was self served, they had mahi mahi and beef ribs. They were both excellent. 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.

Large ballroom great for big events.read more

Grateful for these men and women! First and foremost, Thank You for your service!…read more This is my second time on a tour at a Fire Station and it amazes me what these men and women do and the risks involved to keep us all safe. One of my kids had a field trip here and parents were allowed to join. The tour was well organized and there were 3 different parts of the tour: 1. Tour of the fire house - we got to see where they work, eat, sleep and hang out on off times. Of course, they are always on duty, but shifts are usually 24 hours. 2. Tour of the fire engine/uniform - a call actually came in while we were visiting so we saw the fire engine pull out, with the lights flashing and the sirens blaring. Cool to see them in action. While we waited for the truck to come back, one of the captains showed us all the different components of their uniform and how they put it on. He was so great at interacting with the kids and keeping them engaged. 3. Shooting the Fire Hose - I didn't get this part of the tour when I was a kid! They gave each kid a plastic fire helmet and let each kid have a turn shooting the fire hose. It was so cool to see their faces. Some cool facts: Cost of a fire truck - (HOLY!) half a million dollars How much water does a fire engine carry? 1000 gallons How long do they usually keep a fire truck? approximately 25 years They showed us two separate power tools they store on the truck to use to break or pull apart stuff on their rescues. These tools are no joke. We were shown a giant jack hammer looking thing, with what looks like a giant wrench extension and the fire fighter explained that the tool will cut a car like a pair of scissors would paper. They are run by a special battery where it will work on 100% of power until it's completely dead. This is the part that blew my mind. They have about 90 seconds to get their gear on and out of the station. 90 SECONDS, PEOPLE! They have to put on boots, put on and buckle pants, put on a hood, put on and zip up a jacket, put on their tanks (which are actually on their seat in the truck, to save time) and put on their helmets and gloves. I can barely wash my face or brush my teeth in 90 seconds, let alone get dressed! They said that their response time is about 3 minutes and 40 seconds door-to-door, to any address in Richmond Hill. MIND BLOWN! The next time you see a fire fighter, hug them, thank them, feed them, love them. They are the real MVPs.

I needed to use the computers and she was absolutely rude to me. I have been out of country for a year and didn't know the library changed to a different card. She proceeded to interrupt me when she asked me "ok well does your card look like this" I said "no, i didn..." "THEN YOU DONT HAVE A LIBARY CARD" and instead of helping me and listening to the problem she proceeded to just put me on a list for the ONE computer that everyone can use for 15 min? Out of pure frustration and lack of friendly customer service I left and went to tje Islands Library, which is the one I went to before I left country. The gentleman there was extremely helpful and I was able to fill out a form to get a new library card. To the Pooler big wigs, your community is growing and this library needs to be revamped. It wouldn't hurt to get some friendly faces too so that one in the front can simply retire and volunteer somewhere that doesn't deal with people since she clearly doesn't know how to.

Very unprofessional! I'd rather drive further off to a different library so I won't have to deal with that.
