with aircraft, armored vehicles, uniforms, weapons, medals and other
items from the Revolutionary War through the Gulf War. The Lake
Blackshear Resort and Golf Club is a privately operated conference
center with 78 lodge rooms, 10 cottages and a restaurant. The SAM
Shortline Excursion Train runs through the park on its way from Cordele
