Jarrell Plantation Historic Site

Hi everyone. I've created a video to take you inside the Jarrell Plantation gin house to explain how our steam powered cotton gin from 1895 works, and show you why this gin was so important for the Jarrell family's farming operation. If you're interested in more videos like this, check out the Georgia State Parks eRanger lessons at gastateparks.org/eRanger.

Happy Holidays! Our friend Bonnie Gehling took this wonderful photo of the decorations at the original plantation house this year. The decorations will be up through the first week of January and Christmas Traditions house tours are available by reservation through Dec. 19. Also, head over to Bonnie's page to check out her work!

It's finally looking like fall around the farm!

I know a lot of you are photographers, so I wanted to share this State Parks photo contest with you. Check out the details at the shared link - ends October 31.
