Cotton Gin, Bostwick, GA
This is one of a few working Lummus gins in Georgia. It’s such an integral part of life in this community that it’s the namesake of the annual Cotton Gin Festival, held the first Saturday in November. Bostwick is a fascinating place that I’d recommend anyone visiting when they’re in the area. (Note: the Cotton Gin Festival was discontinued in 2024)
