What to expect

A roadside plaque marks where W. S. and Ethel Stuckey opened their first pecan stand in 1937, the small beginning of a highway-store brand known for its blue roofs and pecan log rolls. Pair it with Eastman's downtown Stuckey's mural for a compact bit of Georgia road-trip history.

Visit in daylight

This is an outdoor marker at the original Eastman site, not an operating Stuckey's store or factory tour. The state tourism listing does not publish gate hours.

• Original 1937 business site
• Pecan-log and roadside-travel history
• A quick pairing with the downtown mural

Before you go

• Treat this as a brief outdoor history stop; the old Eastman candy plant closed in 2009 and no tour is advertised.
• Read the plaque from the safe parking area and stay clear of active driveways and traffic.
• The related mural is downtown at Fifth Avenue and West Main Street, not at the marker.
