Lumpkin, Georgia | A Sleepy Faded Town

If you're looking for the perfect spot for a horror movie set, this place might be it. Lumpkin, with a name like that, you gotta take it seriously, right? This small Georgia city is located in Stewart County, and has a population of about 942 people. The poverty is at a soaringly highly 32%, with unemployment being almost twice the national average. Jobs are quite hard to come by around here. You won't find many amenities here, and commutes are a must. Driving through this place looks like time stood still about 50 years ago or more. Many unique buildings, and also many abandoned homes and businesses. Let's take a drive and check some of it out!

It certainly has a get out of town before sundown type of vibe to it.

[@janeentumbao8690]

Definitely!
Heck, I wouldn't wanna be there when the sun's up! 😂

[@Godzillajeff]

I'd rather live here than NYC these days...all "that" can be fixed up and enjoy the trees, cut the grass listening to the birds and living amongst down to earth people sounds refreshing.

[@jerril1392]

Ty for the tours around America, it breaks my heart though to see what was once a thriving Country turning into this. It began when companies closed here and moved overseas for lower wages starting back in the 70's thru now. Very sad indeed.

[@jayjaynella4539]

There are lots of tow trucks for such a small town.

Thank you so much Hoods N Hollers for uploading this great video, I appreciate it! My Father was raised in this area!

[@hoodsnhollers]

Thanks so much for watching! This was a very interesting place with a unique vibe for sure!

[@markstrouse3101]

Your videos are the greatest but also really sad that this stuff happens in this country

[@hoodsnhollers]

Thanks so much for watching Mark!

[@wendyhieter4703]

I hear dueling banjos as I watch this,lol.

[@laretdenton9768]

Georgia on my mind 🎼🎼🎼

[@cherrylove3656]

this is why this is one of my top channels I watch to keep me informed showing me there's a problem something going on in this country. and the people who know aren't saying anything know what going on very scary.

[@hoodsnhollers]

Thanks so much for watching!

[@onrycodger]

That's sad brother! West Virginia has some pitiful towns as well.
As always, Thumbs up 👍

[@Phonespider]

Looks 10,000 times better than Philadelphia.

[@willieadams3890]

Depends on section of the city you live in.

[@bridgetmuehlberger5141]

Love the cemetery drive-by. I really appreciate hometown cemeteries and graveyards. 👍

[@melodymacken9788]

Must have been a pretty place. Still is in a calm sort of way.

[@nikasmith206]

Thanks dos another video

[@thejudgmentalcat]

Nature is slowly repossessing it 😢

[@user-account-not-found]

I saw some places like this in Montana this summer, old mining towns.

[@deborahmacdonald9319]

Hola! up in the Crazy North working in the bush....Nice to come back to camp n see a new Video

[@hoodsnhollers]

Thanks so much Deborah! I got so many to get edited, I wish they didnt take so long to process and export. 4k takes so much longer to do but hopefully worth the difference!

[@gabe5946]

I thought about buying a tow truck years ago!! 😳 anyway, thanks for another good one

[@racheldarealtor]

I got lost here going to Columbus at night with kids with me and I was alone .. it was terrifying

[@janeentumbao8690]

This may be the most boring town in the US.
Oddly though, they have alot of tow trucks. 😂

[@FixIt1975]

I'll take boring over crime ridden any time

[@bubblesangel555]

It would be like a tourist trap for me 😂

[@deborahmacdonald9319]

lol This morning I had 3 deer jump across the Hwy lol 2 Coyote when I hit gravel and a Massive moose KM 24 on the Nordegg River rd. My life is bliss. When I come out to homeless, drugs, theft.. It breaks my heart....I just can't wait to go back to the Stars, gravel roads, and the beauty of our creator. I love the back roads. Maybe I need a little place on the back roads of WV or Kentucky...mmmm...maybe

[@hoodsnhollers]

WV for sure, Kentucky....not so much! Nothing like being in West Virginia. I remember being in Elkins one time at night, and it was a very clear night in the middle of nowhere. The stars felt like you could touch them, it was amazing. If you ever go to WV let me know I can help ya out, i been a place or two there lol

[@FixIt1975]

​@@hoodsnhollersI've been to places like that in northern New Hampshire and Maine. I can see a decent amount of stars where I am in south Jersey but not like up there. Don't have the light pollution like here

[@deborahmacdonald9319]

I will for sure!@@hoodsnhollers

[@deborahmacdonald9319]

❤@@hoodsnhollers

[@shadowthreat8715]

I wish better times to Lumpkin. 😢

[@WLM596]

My ancestors were from there. They're buried in the Providence Methodist Church Cemetery.

[@jeffsparey9585]

I think it looks quite snug

[@MundiahNini]

[@AimeeJoy42]

[@ileanadumitrescu5639]

❤

[@pamelamills-senn1511]

How would anyone manage to escape that town, I wonder

[@debrahill2272]

Would this be near Omaha GA..Stewart County

[@hoodsnhollers]

Yes it’s about 20 min away

[@smorgasbroad1132]

It doesn't help that the town is named "Lumpkin". That's the best thing thing they could come up with? Lol.

[@joachimklinkosch699]

What,s going in There?

[@slappedhappy9549]

Neither cars nor humans!👽Scary

[@kickapootrackers7255]

Tya

[@goodcitizen4587]

It does look fixable.

[@bobkirk942]

A bumpkin in Lumpkin 😂😂 possible 😅

[@temp5782]

All the “houses” are made of wood😮

[@MundiahNini]
