Our History
Long, long ago in a far away land, south east on the North American Continent, was a wilderness land the Alapaha River borders, known today as Lyles Plantation in Irwin County, Georgia. This land was home for the native americans which were called Creek Indians. This was until around 1832 or so. After the Creeks, the vast area of land was obtained by English settlers known by the name of Fletcher. Many of the Fletcher descendants are still in this area. On May 10th 1865 Jefferson Davis, dressed in women's cloths was captured by Union troops near Irwinville, just a few miles north of the Lyles Plantation. The Jefferson Davis State park is open to the public and has a museum, and monument on the exact spot where Davis was captured.
Over the past few decades Dr. Lyles developed hundreds of acres of this land in real estate while keeping the huge Lyles Plantation which borders the river untouched for his hunting paradise. Today Lyles Plantation is waiting on you to visit and add another chapter to it's history. Hope to see you down at the lodge.
