Andersonville Civil War Prison camp is located in Southwestern Georgia. It is comparatively small, about 30 acres, and held over 40,000 Union prisoners. It was only in operation for 14 months, but in that time about 15,000 men died of starvation, disease, abuse and murder. The conditions were wretched, deplorable and filthy. The weather was cold, rainy and dreary on my visit, which further lent itself to the horror of the camp.
A recreation of the entrance way
A sample of what it may have looked like. The railing is known as the "Deadline" and is about ten feet from the stockade. Should a soldier cross over the deadline, he is shot and killed. Condederate soldiers would sometimes throw food and bread into the deadline area to entice the Union soldiers to cross over thereby shooting them.
I visited the Jack Daniels Distillery on a Sunday which means the little town of Lynchburg was pretty much closed. I personally don't like Jack Daniels whiskey, but I can appreciate the art and science that goes into its' making. ALL the JD whiskey in the world is made here at this distillery and Lynchburg happens to be in a dry county, therefore, you can not purchase any of the product. We were only allowed to take pictures of the outside buildings. 
The bar served lemonade
It's a dry county so you can only take a picture of the whiskey and it is behind a cabinet
The story of Jack Daniels and its process
It started out a simple process
Below, it gets a little more complicated
The safe that killed him. He kicked it, broke his foot, gangrene set in, he died. 
His office where the safe is
Antique fire trucks
The man who started it all
The seven Master Tasters, the current is center
The cool natural spring that supplies all the water
The trees turn black due to the distilling process. 
The little town of Lynchburg is still as it was a hundred years ago. A sleepy quaint little town.
