Lands Crossing is a great name for a place and Henry Land’s Grocery was the heart of this little crossroads community in Irwin County. You might find it on a map, if it’s a good map, but there was never a post office or railroad here. Henry Land, Jr., (1915-2000) ran this store for over 50 years, while also working as a farmer. The precinct house, seen at left, was later moved to Rex Johnson’s property, just down the road.
I lived there on the ten mile road. Remember seeing movies outside one night a week. My heart is still in south ga. Happy memories.
I lived there at Lands Crossing, behind George Clements store, my mama and three kids, there is a lot of precious memories,growing up there.
I was born and raised in the Land’s Crossing community. I loved going to the store. Lots of us kids would meet the school bus across the road at George Clements store. Precious memories. Still live not far from Land’s Crossing.
Looking at it makes me feel sad for all the landmarks that are disappearing from the land I love so much. Is the store still open?
No the store had been closed a long time
I have pictures of the store and the voting house.
It’s been closed for years, Victor.
Thanks
My husband’s family all live near there-his grandmother, Sarah Mulkey, lives off Reagan Road, and his uncle Bubba lives on Jeff Davis Park Road, the last house before you get to Land’s Crossing! I’m glad they cleaned the place up and re-painted it!
I went to college with Ginger Land. I loved her, her house and her father’s store.
