Sybert, Georgia

Sybert is a crossroads settlement in western Lincoln County. Other than the fact that it had a post office from 1899-1905, I can’t locate any history related to the community. I did, however, locate a John H. Sybert in a primary source, Lincoln County Will Book H: 1831-1869, via Historical Collections of the Georgia Chapters, DAR, Vol 1, 1926. Transcribed by Andrew Staton. It’s possible this general store or commissary was related to the historic farm mentioned in the previous post.

Looking at the intersection in online mapping surveys, I think hay has been kept at this corner for several years, at least. It surely makes for a perfect rural Georgia scene.

Historic Farmhouse, Sybert

This Georgian Cottage is at the center of a large historic farm which still has many of its original outbuildings and dependencies. As I often see in my travels, a more modern home stands nearby, but the old homeplace proudly endures as a link to the past and out of respect to those who cultivated the land before the new generation came along.
