On A Farm In Georgia~
The well to wander

I spent my childhood on a farm in the heart of Middle Georgia—land that has been in my family for more than 200 years. My late father, Dr. Seaborn J. Harden, deeply understood the value of the land: wide-open spaces, honest work, and the kind of freedom that nurtures imagination and adventure. The values and life lessons he passed down became the roots of my lifelong desire to explore.

In more recent years, that same land became home to my brother, Seaborn J. Harden III. Seab chose a life grounded in simplicity and connection—living on the land, raising his daughter there, and quietly becoming the keeper of our family’s gathering place. Summers and celebrations he called us back home. Ranger rides at sunset. Bonfires under wide Georgia skies. Long conversations, laughter, and the kind of connection that only happens when time slows down. When Seab passed this summer, we lost more than a brother—we lost a steward of the land. But his spirit remains deeply woven into that place and into us.

On that land stands something that has always captured my curiosity: a real Travelers’ Well. As a child, it was part playground, part wishing well, and a place to rest from the hard work carried out in the surrounding fields—hoeing watermelons, scouting cotton, and learning what it meant to belong to something bigger than ourselves.

Historically, travelers’ wells offered more than water. They were places of pause and restoration for people and animals making long journeys—essential waypoints on the path forward.

Today the Travelers Well Wanders is inspired by that legacy—of land, of family, of those who came before us and those who keep calling us home. Like the well itself, this is a place to pause, reconnect, and gather strength before continuing onward.

Today, The Travelers Well Wanders is here to support your journey — wherever it may lead.
