Hotels in Fitzgerald

A former Union drummer boy founded this quirky town where east-west streets honor opposing Civil War generals - a history preserved at the Blue and Gray Museum. The Grand Theatre anchors cultural life with performances that draw crowds from surrounding rural communities. Most remarkably, wild jungle chickens strut about town with the confidence of longtime residents. The Jefferson Davis Memorial Historic Site offers a counterpoint to the town's Union origins. For a deeper dive into local heritage, visit The Carnegie Center where exhibits trace the evolution of this self-proclaimed 'Colony City.' Come during spring when azaleas frame historic homes and those famous feral fowl put on impromptu parades through downtown neighborhoods.
