Americus is a college town
(Georgia
Southwest State University) with an historic district and lots of old Victorian
homes. The Victorians had not yet been painted any colors except white
when we visited in |
|
2002. The
historic Windsor Hotel in the center of town is grand
and the visitors center is next door.

Nearby Plains is a very small town that has
been frozen in the 1940's-1960's. We actually shook hands and conversed with
Jimmy Carter at the town hall when we visited Plains. |
|
(We were lucky.)
There
are no hotels here. There are hotels in Americus and the Columbus area. |

Why
shop online?
Prices
and selection
are often better
from these Web
sites than in your
neighborhood stores. Many
of them offer
free packing and
shipping to
your
door or to your
gift recipient. So,
you can save
time, gas, and
money. Merchant
sites must
meet high security
standards to
advertise
on QuaintPlaces.com.

Did
you know?
When
you place an
order from these
merchants, they
contribute a small
commission to QuaintPlaces.com. These
commissions
do not increase
the cost of your
purchases. Only
purchases
made within a few
days
after
your
initial "click" to
their sites generate
commissions for us.
(Please do not delete your cookies.)
These
commissions, plus sales of our
own photos and cards, are
necessary
to help defray the
cost of maintaining QuaintPlaces.com,
which currently
operates at a loss.
Your
purchases will
help us provide
more
information
and photos about
quaint places.
