- Description:
- Jenkins County, ca. 1970. Timbers removed from a stream which flowed into Magnolia Springs. The timbers were part of Fort Lawton, a stockade built by the Confederacy for prisoners of war. This area is now part of Magnolia Springs State Park.
2003/06/26: Magnolia State Park is known for its naturally flowing springs that yield seven million gallons of water per day. During the Civil War it served as a Confederate prison camp called Camp Lawton, becoming the world's largest prison. The earthen breastworks that guarded the prison may still be seen today. It is a Georgia State Park. - External Identifiers:
