The old Suwannee Hotel in Cordele was founded in 1890 at the family home of Confederate governor Joseph E. Brown. Fomerly known as Dooly County Place, the home provided a haven for Brown as he fled from Sherman's troops near the end of the Civil War. The original hotel burned in 1994 and has since been rebuilt.
