Durrence Farm, Tattnall County

This is a great example of an intact early-20th-century farmstead. Its scope is more evident when viewed from a distance but it looks great from any angle. I will share specific structures in a future post and will try to update this post with more photos.

Update: As of 2025, I believe the tenant house is the only structure remaining.

    True about the Georgia “Crackers”, and these settlers and their offspring were tough folks!
    FYI: In Florida, “Cracker” is the name given to describe cow wranglers/herders who cracked their whips loudly & skillfully solely to maneuver cattle in the direction needed to get to their next destination, whether it was to a new grazing area or going to sell cattle at a market. (The cattle aren’t harmed or physically touched by the whips). That was a big deal when there were no fences & cattle were “free range”. There is still an annual “Cattle Drive”, which takes a few days
