 History Tuesday
Did you know? Located strategically between Athens and Augusta, the Georgia Railroad & Banking Company played a significant role in shaping our local heritage! This historic company was pivotal in establishing the Town of Camak, a community that grew around the railroad. The Camak Depot, built in the golden age of rail travel, still proudly stands today. It serves as a reminder of our vibrant past and is actively used by CSX, continuing its legacy into the modern era. Featured here is an original share certificate from the Georgia Railroad & Banking Company, a fascinating artifact from our town's rich history. You can see a share certificate from 1844 at the Depot in Warrenton! Take a moment today to appreciate the journey of our community—built rail by rail, share by share!
