Things to Do Near Richmond Hill, Georgia
Richmond Hill, in Bryan County, owes much of its modern identity to Henry Ford, who wintered here starting in 1925 and eventually restored the Civil War-era Fort McAllister. That fort — a well-preserved Confederate earthwork that marked the end of Sherman's March to the Sea — is now the centerpiece of Fort McAllister State Historic Park, with cannons, a museum, and Ogeechee River views. The Richmond Hill History Museum, housed in the former Ford-built kindergarten, covers the area's story from its indigenous roots through the Ford era, while J.F. Gregory Park offers walking trails past old rice-field vestiges, a playground, and a pond. Paddlers and anglers head for the Ogeechee and Canoochee Rivers, including the popular Canoochee Creek Paddle Trail, and the town's calendar highlight is the Great Ogeechee Seafood Festival.
