📬 A Postcard from Tifton’s Past
Before GPS, online reservations, and hotel apps, there was a postcard—and Tifton’s very own Holiday Inn was ready to welcome travelers! 🏨✨
This vintage postcard advertised the Holiday Inn in Tifton as being “in the heart of beautiful South Georgia’s recreational area,” with 192 rooms, a swimming pool, putting green, free airport transportation, and year-round temperature control. Talk about Southern hospitality with all the amenities! 😎🌴
📍 Located along I-75, U.S. 82 & U.S. 319, the old Holiday Inn was part of the Tifton travel experience for generations of visitors passing through South Georgia.
📮 Postcard history: This image comes from Cardcow.com and was made by Dexter Press, Inc., in New York and published by Southern Photo Services in Valdosta, Georgia.
Some things change, but Tifton’s role as a welcoming stop in South Georgia? That’s a tradition worth keeping. ❤️

Today, we pause to remember September 11, 2001.
We honor the lives lost, the families forever changed, and the courage of the first responders and countless individuals who stepped forward to help.
Twenty-five years later, we remember the strength, compassion, and unity that emerged in the face of tragedy.
We remember. We honor. We will never forget. 🇺🇸
