Americus

Americus combines the relaxed scale of a southwest Georgia town with the institutional role of a county seat, reflecting its position on the Coastal Plain. The city is home to Georgia Southwestern State University, and its downtown includes the Windsor Hotel, a landmark completed in 1892 during the railroad era. Americus serves as the seat of Sumter County and lies near Plains, the hometown of President Jimmy Carter, as well as Andersonville National Historic Site, which preserves the site of a Civil War prisoner-of-war camp.
