Obediah's Okefenok

Obediah's Okefenok

One of the cute places that my wife and I visited on our trip to Waycross was Obediah's Okefenok, a restoration of a frontier homestead from the 1860's. This is a National Historic Landmark.

For $4.50 each, we entered the exhibit and walked around, visiting the different areas. There is a turpentine exhibit, where pine sap is boiled down to produce turpentine, a 1-mile nature trail, a sugar cane mill, a moonshine still, several farm buildings (corn crib, grist mill, smoke house, blacksmith shop), the original (although refurbished) log cabin home, and many other buildings and attractions. We had a great time looking at the old two-seater outhouse and other attractions. It just took us back to a time past that we seldom remember in today's busy world.

Any time that you are in the Waycross area, this should be a short visit that must be taken.
