City of Bellville - Evans County
The neo-classical Evans County Courthouse was built in 1923.
Old Sunbury Road runs through the county. Laid out in the 1790s, it was one of the longest vehicular thoroughfares of the post-revolutionary period.
Evans County residents and visitors alike enjoy the amenities of several local parks. Bacon-Ford Park is located in Claxton. Rocks River Park on the Canoochee River features camping, picnicking, and boating facilities.
Much of the southeastern part of Evans County is occupied by Fort Stewart, a U.S. Army base used as a flight training center.
The Evans County Wildlife Club hosts a Rattlesnake Roundup each March. Highlights of the event include a parade, beauty pageant, arts and crafts exhibits, and a snake hunting competition. Live rattlesnakes captured during the event are sold to colleges and laboratories for research purposes. The City of Hagan also sponsors a popular Fourth of July Celebration each year.
