Visitors to this quiet park can enjoy camping, fishing and other recreational activities while also learning about a key officer in the American Civil War. Named after the vice president of the Confederacy and governor of Georgia, A. H. Stephens State Historic Park features a Confederate museum with one of the finest collections of Civil War artifacts in Georgia, including uniforms and documents. Stephens' home, Liberty Hall, is renovated to its 1875 style, fully furnished and open for tours. Located just north of I-20 yet surrounded by forest, this park is popular with horseback riders who enjoy its 12 miles of trails. The lakeside group camp is perfect for large overnight gatherings.
