Grab Breakfast at the Sunbury Coffee Bar

The Sunbury Coffee Bar is one of downtown Hinesville’s newest spots, tucked in a cozy area surrounded by greenery that invites you to pause and enjoy your meal. Their pastries are delicious, and the coffee is even better! Whether you prefer it hot or iced, grab your drink and get ready to #ExploreLiberty.

Start Your Morning at Bryan Commons Park

What’s not to love about this place? Bryant Commons Park is a 156-acre gem in downtown Hinesville, full of beautiful trees, walking trails and a pond perfect for catch-and-release fishing. It also has an amphitheater, Cisco’s Dog Park (with areas for both big and small dogs) and Brambles Playground, so the little ones can play! Don’t miss the Veterans Memorial Walk, a peaceful paved path where you can reflect and honor the soldiers who fought for our country.

The park also has a perfect walking loop, making it a great spot to stroll with friends or family. Pause for a moment, take in the sunrise filtering through the oak trees and just breathe. Mornings here are the kind that stick with you.

ITPA Telephone Museum

While you’re at Bryant Commons Park, be sure to visit the ITPA Telephone Museum. Originally located in Washington, D.C., the museum moved in 2001 to the charming city of Hinesville in Liberty County, Georgia. It’s housed in the former family home of Glenn E. and Trudie Bryant, nestled under beautiful oak trees draped with Spanish moss.

The museum has a large collection of telephones and equipment from throughout history. Kids and adults alike will enjoy seeing how phones have changed — from solid wood, wall-mounted, hand-cranked designs of the past to today’s pocket-sized, touch-screen cell phones.

Hours: Monday–Friday, 10 a.m.–4 p.m. (Call ahead for tours)
Donation: $3 suggested

 

Have Lunch at Zum Rosenhof

Liberty County’s only authentic German restaurant is right in the heart of downtown Hinesville. Zum Rosenhof is not only an experience you won’t want to miss, the food is also amazing. This restaurant is a must-visit when planning any trip to Liberty County.

Bonus fun fact: it’s located in the original Hinesville Bank building, built in 1911.

Go Shopping

Check out the unique shops that the locals love! Stop by Martin Mercantile to explore all the handmade items. Whether you’re shopping for yourself or looking for the perfect souvenir, you’re sure to find something special.

Dawson’s General Store is another favorite. In addition to the boutique in the back, which is always stocked with the latest trends, the store also carries hardware and hunting accessories.

It’s perfect for sipping a beer or cocktail, catching up with friends or showing off your dart skills. Looking for a fun pool game? Stop by Doodles Billiards, where you can enjoy a full bar, a variety of beers and a friendly match with friends!
