Visit Americus

Visit Americus Department of Tourism
for the City of Americus. Americus-Sumter County is located two and a half hours south of Atlanta via US Highway 19.

While agriculture has long been the driving force of the county’s economy, Sumter County’s historical past is attracting tourists. Tourism is the newest industry in the area. The Americus-Sumter Tourism Welcome Center is located in the historic Windsor Hotel. Renewed interest in life during the turn of the century draws people to historic landmarks like the Rylander Theatre, circa 1921; the Windso

r Hotel, circa 1892; and Habitat for Humanity located in the restored Rylander Building, circa 1916. Historic downtown Americus has retained most of its original structures and leaders are impassioned regarding restoration. Andersonville displays its treasure of an intact Civil War Village across the highway from the Civil War prison of Andersonville. The latest addition to the National Historic Site is the National Prisoner of War Museum which opened in April 1998. Plains attracts admirers of the 39th President, Jimmy Carter. Structures associated with Carter’s life and political career have been restored and maintained by the National Park Service, including Plains High School, the Train Depot (his political campaign headquarters), and now the boyhood farm.

#2 SPICY BEEF…. Our pot roast sandwich is already pretty awesome. But we felt the need to spice things up a bit…. slow braised beef chuck, housemade pepper relish, pepperoncini, provolone, tangy herb drizzle, SG sauce. (This one is out selling the original so far!!😳)
