Hamburg State Park

Hamburg State Park is a recreation area with a large lake and wooded grounds in Washington County, Georgia. The park includes camping facilities, picnic areas, and a museum building dedicated to local farming history.

A water-powered gristmill built in 1921 once served as a central point where local farmers brought their grain to trade and sell. This building was carefully restored and remains one of the park's main landmarks.

The museum displays farming tools that show how people worked the land in this region for generations. Walking through, you see the kinds of equipment that defined daily life for local farmers.

The campground offers sites with electrical and water hookups, along with shower facilities and a station for emptying tanks. Visitors should plan ahead to see which facilities and activity areas suit their needs.

The gristmill is not just a static display but actually operates during special events throughout the year. Watching the machinery turn and grain being ground offers a tangible sense of how the process worked in practice.
