Come through south Georgia and visit Andersonville. Andersonville is site of notorius Confederate POW camp. Now the National Park Historic site is also home to Natl Cemetery and National POW Museum. The town has historic village with period buildings and in October is the Historic Fair with rein-actors all over, including several "battles". Nice event with lots going on hosted by small town civic organizations.
Near to Andersonville is Columbus, Ga. Columbus was home to Confederate Iron Works and now home to Confederate Naval Museum. Westville (in Lumpkin, GA - between Andersonville & Columbus) is home to recreated 1890's village.. with period cooking, blacksmithing, spinning, weaving, etc.. Nice day trip.
Several Georgia State parks nearby for a place to stay. There is also a city owned park in Andersonville, nothing fancy, just a spot to park under the trees.
