Our local area is host to a gem of a museum…the Midway Museum in Midway, Georgia. Less than 15 minutes from I-95, this small museum is a faithful replica of the style used by 18th-century rice plantation owners, including an outdoor kitchen, and contains original documents, clothing, furnishings, and paintings donated by local families. The docents tell the stories of those families, many of whose descendants have contributed to U.S. history, including three signers of the Declaration of Independence. Well worth the 45-minute drive from the Brunswick area.
And best of all for genealogists, especially anyone with family from Liberty County, the museum contains notebooks of genealogical documents contributed by the local families, as well as books of local interest.
The museum is next to the Midway Congregational Church, founded in 1752. The current structure dates from 1792. Cemetery buffs will enjoy the nearby church cemetery.
