Where are We?
Millen, Georgia, the county seat only minutes from the Ogeechee River, was settled in 1835 and has been a regional hub of transportation in Georgia since 1854 when the railroad came to town. Only 50 miles south of Augusta, Georgia and 79 miles north of Savannah, Georgia, Millen’s access to rail, highways, airports, and the Port of Savannah puts it at the center of a growing corridor between two regional centers of industry.
