A Glimpse Into Tifton’s History: The Camellia House
Known as The Camellia House of Tifton, this beautiful historic home has been part of Tifton’s story for more than a century.
Construction began in 1905 by William Samuel Cobb Sr. and his wife, Martha Berry Atkinson. Mr. Cobb was involved in the fertilizer business and served as a deacon at First Baptist Church of Tifton for more than 30 years.
Today, The Camellia House stands as a beautiful reminder of Tifton’s rich history, architecture, and the people who helped shape our community. ❤️🌿
Tifton’s history is right around the corner—if you know where to look.

🎉🚐 MEET CAPTAIN TIFT! 🚐🎉
Tifton, we’ve got a familiar van rolling around town—but now it’s got a brand-new personality riding shotgun! 👀❤️
Meet Captain Tift, our new mascot of the Think Tifton family! 🌟 He’s cheerful, curious, always up for an adventure, and just a little surprised it took this long for him to get his own official “cartoon debut.” 😄
What makes him extra special? Captain Tift was created in the image of our real-life Think Tifton van—so if he looks familiar, that’s because he is! 🚐✨ He’s the animated version of the van you already know and love, brought to life as our official cartoon mascot. This is his glow-up era. ✨
From discovering hidden gems and cheering on local businesses to celebrating the everything that makes our community special, Captain Tift is ready to hit the road and Think Tifton! 💚💙
So, if you see him around town, don’t be shy—wave hello 👋
Give Captain Tift a 👋 in the comments and help us officially welcome his new animated self to the Think Tifton family!
Welcome, Captain! We’re glad you finally got your close-up! ❤️
