Pigfest in Richland
Nov. 12 - 13

We also have plans to add news articles about the happenings in Stewart County. Hopefully, the new BLOG will be filled by contributors to keep you up-to-date. Though it is basically an agriculture area, there are still things happening that we feel of value to this site.
Let everyone know what's going on. Start using our networking tools to spread the word about upcoming events around town.
From alerting folks to a meeting about an important city issue, the next gathering of your book group, a real estate open house or upcoming tag sale, make this your first stop in getting the word out.
Hopefully we can add some old photos to our gallery. I found an old Stewart County photo from 1951 that shows the front of the old Stewart County High School in Lumpkin. Click on the pic of the school to see what it looks like now! With a little help, we hope to add pages about some of the individuals who now live or have lived in Stewart County. There are some very interesting stories to be told, so be sure to check back and see what we've found. Some of the stories have been passed down through the generations. Even a few old pics have survived the times.
In the "Photo Gallery" you'll find some pics that were taken of the children from Lumpkin Elementary School fieldtrips.
As the site progresses, there will be a page for each of the little towns and communities in Stewart County. Such as Louvale, Omaha, Florence, Trotman, Brooklyn, and more. We realize that the county is made up of much more than just the cities of Lumpkin and Richland, but we need your help in adding info. That's why we added the BLOG to the website... so feel free to interact with us! You can use the link to "Latest News" at the top or at the bottom of this page.


Stewart County, home of the "Little Grand Canyon", was named for General Daniel Stewart, an officer in the Revolutionary War and War of 1812, and grandfather of President Theodore Roosevelt.
As a child, I attended 5th Sunday services at Providence Methodist Church, located near Providence Canyon State Park. Services are no longer held there.
The historic community of Westville is also located just south of the City of Lumpkin, in Stewart County. This was never actually a town, but is made up of more than 25 historic homes, shops and public buildings moved to the site from the surrounding counties. A terrific example of 1850's pre-industrial West Georgia life.
