File PhotoA 1950 clipping from The Valdosta Daily Times captures the Duke and Duchess of Windsor making a stop in Hahira.
HAHIRA â Many important figures have traveled through Lowndes County through the years. President Donald Trump s December visit was one of a handful by presidents and first ladies.
But Lowndes County has also seen a king come through, albeit a former one.Â
In January 1950, the Duke and Duchess of Windsor traveled through Hahira en route to Tallahassee, Fla. Fourteen years earlier, he was King Edward VIII of the United Kingdom.
