Cafe International - Best restaurant in Helen! Great food, Great service and they have Erdinger on draft! Owner, Bruce, and the staff are the best!

It is coming back to life--slowly but surely. That photo is several months old. The exterior now looks much better, with new windows. The interior is what is so depressing. I don't know how anyone could vandalize a building like that. It will cost a small fortune to pay to renovate the inside. Fundraisers are underway.

I would like to see inside this house

This local landmark that most people today know simple as the “Dasher House,” was built around 1900 by Henry Williams, whose family later sold it to Clarence Sands. During the 1970’s, the house was bought by my grandfather, Gerald W. Dasher, for his parents Walter and Winnie Dasher. Walter Dasher was a pioneer in the area of sweet onions, being one of the first local farmers to grow them.

Gerald Dasher realized the potential the onions held and continued his father’s farming practices. He became the first man to grow Vidalia onions on a large scale, his farm comprising of several thousand acres. He and his brother Robert founded G&R Farms, which would become one of the leading exporters of Vidalia onions worldwide. Dasher was a very innovative farmer, perfecting the harvesting of the onions. In addition to farming, Dasher was a local civic leader, active in local and state politics. Gerald Dasher passed away in 2003, leaving behind a legacy like no other. The state farmer’s market in Glennville now bears his name as a reminder of his many great contributions to his community.

What an Intriguing photo! Most beautiful sunrise I've seen!

Philadelphia Crossroads began to see growth as a village during the 1850’s. It was around this time that a building was constructed for a school house. Several years later, another building was built near where the Methodist Church stands today. In 1887, the Masons constructed a two story building (the first floor to be used as a school and the second floor to be used as the Masonic Lodge). In 1891, J.J. Barnard and several other citizens got together and founded the Tattnall Baptist Institute. A white, two story, wooden building topped with a cupola was built at the end of Institute St. on Tillman St. This building burned in 1910 and was replaced by a two story brick building, also topped with a cupola. This building served as the Glennville High School for many years. Later, when separate buildings were constructed for an elementary school and a high school, the building was used as the middle school. Today, the building is home to the Glennville branch of Southeastern Technical College and the Glennville Tattnall Museum. Adjacent to the building is the Glennville Auditorium, which was constructed by the WPA in 1939 and is home to many annual shows, including the popular Tattnall Productions.
