Lisa loves animals and has dogs, rats, cats, guinea pigs, and snakes. She is passionate about animal rescue and live music - traveling across the country to see a favorite band is a pretty regular occurrence! Being out hiking in the woods enjoying the scenery with her beloved dogs is another favorite hobby, and also checking out the Pokemon Go scene in whatever city she happens to be in at any given time (coffee and dog leash in hand).

The town of Ebenezer in South Georgia was once such a thriving populace that it was named the county seat of Effingham County. The industrious city produced silk and was an important stopover point for soldiers in the Revolutionary War. Within just a few years, however, the city became virtually abandoned. Today, only one building remains from the town of Ebenezer. Most people don’t even remember that it ever existed!
Were you familiar with this fascinating “lost town” of Georgia? The land that was once Ebenezer is now largely in the town of Rincon. You can visit the Jerusalem Lutheran Church at 2966 Ebenezer Rd, Rincon, GA 31326.
