Hiltonia Depot The Savannah & Atlanta Railway in Hiltonia was abandoned in the early 1960s, but the old depot survived; it is used as the tiny community's town hall. Next to the old depot is the town jail. Like many jails in Georgia it is a product of the Manly Jail Works of Dalton, Ga. Hiltonia lies in northern Screven County about 70 miles northwest of Savannah. Georgia's Railroad History & Heritage. Copyright, Steve Storey.
