Fun place to go and have a quick round of sporting clays. I went for a registered shoot with my son and they did an excellent job with everyone. Fun times shooting.

Jarrell Plantation

An 1850s style plantation country house bed and breakfast in middle Georgia. Next to the Jarrell Plantation State Historic Site and near The Whistle Stop Cafe in Juliette, movie set for the movie "Fried Green Tomatoes".

Reviewed By cordyroy - Naples, Florida

We spent a delightful 2 hours here. Start with the documentary film and then walk the property. Each stop is well signed. It is fascinating learning about the Jarrell family over the generations. They were certainly hard working and entrepreneurial. Everything is preserved just as it was when it was still lived in.
A note, some of the paths are a little steep and uneven.

This beautiful court house was built in 1896. It is still in use as the probate court - the courthouse was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.
A must stop on any travelers list of historic courthouses in Georgia.

There are several good local restaurants on the square immediately across from the courthouse which are very good.

Dauset Trails

Reviewed By April C - Guyton, Georgia, United States

Love, love, love!!!!! Not sure what I was expecting but this little place is amazing!! We fed the turtles, geese and fish. Walked around the reptile exhibit but didn't make it to barnyard. Daddy was waiting in the car with the dogs. We left and walked the beginner trail loop. Beautiful trails!! This place was adorable. Well worth the drive. Also conveniently located between High Falls and Indian Springs State Parks.

Kudzu Korner

Reviewed By RamonaL34

Kudzu Korner is a lovely place to visit when in Juliette, looking at all the sites from the movie Fried Green Tomatoes. Kudzu Korner is conveniently located right in the middle of all the movie sights. There are a lot of different antiques inside. They have vintage clothes, Pyrex, lovely framed artwork, jewelry, toys - there is something for everyone. The staff are so friendly and helpful. They really make you feel welcomed into their store.
