Share Feedback

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.
