📸 A Snapshot Into Tifton’s Past! 🚂
Before the hustle and bustle of today, Tifton had its own rhythm, and the railroad was a big part of the story! ❤️
This vintage photograph captures a young woman standing beside the railroad tracks, with Tifton’s businesses lining the road behind her. The railroad tracks remind us of the important role rail transportation played in Tifton’s growth, helping connect our community to the people, goods, and opportunities that shaped our town.
And can we take a moment to appreciate that outfit? The dress, the curls, the classic shoes — she was serving timeless style long before anyone called it vintage! 👗✨
Now we want to hear from you! Do you recognize this spot in Tifton? Do you know who this young woman might be? Every clue helps us piece together another little chapter of our hometown’s history!

🌴 A Little Slice of Tifton History! 🛎️
Long before road trips meant cruising down I-75, travelers heading to Florida often passed through Tifton along U.S. Highway 41. And for those needing a place to rest, the Town Terrace Motel was ready to welcome them!
Built in the 1940s as Van Gundy’s Motor Court, this beloved landmark became known to generations of locals as the “Pink Motel.” Its owners, Violet Van Gundy and her brother Jack, helped make it a memorable part of Tifton’s roadside history. And here’s a fun twist: Violet was once a child performer known as “Baby Violet” in the Our Gang comedies, later known as The Little Rascals! 🎬
With its distinctive sign, vintage charm, and stories spanning generations, the Town Terrace Motel is a reminder of a time when the journey was just as memorable as the destination.
💛 Some places are more than buildings — they`re part of our story. And this one certainly has a few stories to tell!
