History

A post office called Musella was established in 1889.[4] According to tradition, the community's name is an amalgamation Mose and Ella, the names of two first settlers. It is located in Crawford County Georgia, and is home to a mere 1,291 residents. At its heart, the very popular Dickey peach packing shed, famous for its creamy peach ice creme, made from the fresh local peaches. Next door, C.F. Hays & Son general store, a small and traditional country store; built in the year 1900. It is home to a wide variety of small shops in the summer, including Roberts BBQ, Timmie's vegetable stand, and Davids Gems. All year-round, it is a pleasant place to be, and if you're lucky enough, you might find Buddy Hays working on his 36 Ford in the shop across the street. [5]
