Jimmy Carter said “I have one life and one chance to make it count for something. I’m free to choose that something. That something—the something that I’ve chosen—is my faith. My faith demands that I do whatever I can, wherever I can, whenever I can, for as long as I can with whatever I have, to try to make a difference.”

His long life reflects this statement! Read more about how Georgia and the South shaped his faith and the person that he was in " Jimmy Carter, Citizen of the South" . This book uses oral histories and more than 215 photographs to look at the life of the former president and how the South nurtured him, provided a launching pad for his political career, and supported the various activities of his post-presidency. 

These are available now at Red Dirt Vagabond, come by and get your copy and take a look at our wide section of other books.

We're Open!

We are still not sure about the road conditions between Forsyth and Thomaston, but I'm going to try to open up the store at 12.

Please be safe if you get out and please remember, when all of the snow and ice clears up, support / shop / eat your favorite small businesses first. We’ve likely missed at least 2 days of work, which could make or break our bills for this month. We really do appreciate your support!

We have decided to stay closed today, stay off the roads and enjoy the snow.

Hopefully we can reopen tomorrow. Meanwhile, have a safe and fun Snow Day! Share your pictures with us! ❄️❄️

At Red Dirt Vagabond, we want to provide an experience as well as offer great products. A part of our mission is to celebrate the Natural, Historical and Cultural beauty of our area.

We have just added some new (to us) old photos around the store to highlight some of our different sections and to highlight some of the History of Thomaston.

We know it's cold and dreary today, but it's a good time to get out of the house and visit us and check out these photos. We'd love to show you around and talk to you about these pictures.
Many many thanks to the Thomaston-Upson Archives for helping us out with these photos.

01/10/2025

Due to the uncertainty of the weather and road conditions, our Thomaston store will be closed today.

We will monitor the situation and decide if we will open later today and/or tomorrow morning.
