Machen, Georgia
The only information I can presently locate about Machen is that it was once a stop on the Central of Georgia Railway line that ran through here, along the Eatonton-Covington route. It’s essentially part of Shady Dale today, but a railroad marker near this house (and a few good maps) still proclaims it to be Machen. I hope to learn more. This American Foursquare house was built in 1915.
Robby & Cindy’s Cafe, Shady Dale
This was Larry’s Corner Mart & Cafe before it was Robby & Cindy’s. It was closed when I was here, late in the day, but people say it has really good food, including homemade hamburgers.
Storage Barn, Shady Dale
Champion’s Country Store, Shady Dale
Champion’s has been a Shady Dale landmark for many years. They even have their own independent sawmill on site.
Bank of Shady Dale, Jasper County
After its initial use as a bank in the early 1900s, this landmark has served as the post office, city hall, and library. It’s all that remains of a once-thriving row of commercial storefronts.
Calvary United Methodist Church, 1859, Shady Dale
Founded in 1857, Shady Dale Methodist was originally located about two miles distant. The present church, though modernized today, was built just before the Civil War.
