Why 119 gets you to Fort Stewart

springfield

16 Miles off exit 109 in Georgia

Take a break from the I95 here’s a great get away with a chance to check out some late 1800 history.  Parking is easy and the beautiful street scape with the lamp posts and sidewalks easily move you about.  There are museums, thrift stores, restaurants and some old time buildings and homes throughout the city.

The surprise Springfield holds is the spirit of the folks that live and work there.  All the modern conveniences are just minutes away from the center of the city but far enough to  keep the relaxing quail atmosphere when you are visiting.
