Brunswick (Georgia)

A 900 year old oak estimated to be from the 12 century AD, where, according to Native American legend, lovers would meet.

Said to be the oak that inspired Sidney Lanier to write the poem "The Marshes of Glynn", while sitting under the branches.

A plaque to commemorate the vast number of Liberty Ships produced in Brunswick during World War II to counter German forces. Sometimes there will be tall ships, cruise ships, etc moored to the landing here on Oglethorpe Bay.

The oldest British fort on the Georgia coastline, dating to 1721, as a deterrence to Spanish and American Indian attacks. It was subsequently abandoned and then saw resettlement of the area nearby as the town of Darien when General James Oglethorpe brought a contingent along in 1736. Tours and trails and a museum on site.

Relics of a rice plantation using slave labor from the early 1800s that became a dairy with heirlooms and paths through the marsh.

A park with marshes and trails to explore.

1899 theater that is used by the Golden Isles Arts and Humanities Association to host performing arts productions and related events.

Here you can really get a sense of the marsh life at the mouth of the Altamaha River, with kayaking launches and wildlife viewing, and also find the Butler Island Plantation, where hundreds of slaves performed arduous work to cultivate rice and where now the estate looks something like a haunted house.
