I wanted to share this photo from Butts County, Georgia with the community. Location: Indian Springs, Butts, Georgia, United States.

I have toured this old hotel and I've heard so many stories about this place. The old gentleman who showed us around told us that a railroad was in front of the hotel where the road is now. He said people would get off the train and visit the hotel before heading across the street to a festival/carnival they used to hold, I believe annually. He claimed the hotel was haunted by a woman and he has seen her with his own eyes. He also told us of the Indians that inhabited the area before the settlers came. It is a shame how they were treated. The hotel is now a museum full of Indian artifacts found locally from way back in history. Whether it's haunted or not, this hotel is a beautiful and sad reminder of how things used to be in beautiful Butts County.

How cool!! I've only seen 2 or 3 of them...I had no idea it was such a popular place...so much so that they had 6 hotels just in that area!
Thanks for the link to the historical society David. Must have had lots of hustle and bustle in the area.
Wonderful link to explore, David!  Thanks so much for posting.

Kara certainly added a visual delight for us to explore and learn.

What a cool hotel Kara! Looks like it was made for the upper-crust folk.

Thanks for posting! I have family from Butts County (MAYO and CARGILE).  I was there in July, mostly to photograph at the Macedonia Baptist Church Cemetery. I stayed a night in Indian Springs. We missed the hotel tour for some reason.

how cool! When I was in middle school, my friends and I used to play tag in the cemetery and I played soccer for years right beside it lol. They have some super old graves…I loved going around and reading off their names.
