This place was absolutely fascinating. Its in Jonesboro, a very cute town near Atlanta, with lots of historic buildings.
The tour guides are all volunteers, passionate about history and told great stories about the house's past, which has a rich, amazing history. Going there you can put yourself into the old south and get an idea what life ...

Our Guide, Mrs. English, was so wonderful, she aswered every question, and it was like she was giving a tour of her own home. The evacuation of Jonesboro reenactment we went to was amazing... we were all afraid, and could really imagine what it would have been like. The reenactment we went to was at night, which made it so realistic for us all.

Stately Oaks is a beautiful looking place, but I have visited places with a lot more to offer for a lot less money. The house has some furnishings clearly out of the period (1860's) being represented. Tour guides are friendly and well-dressed in 1860's costumes, but they seem more scripted than actually knowledgeable about their subject. ...

It tells about the history of Jonesboro and Georgia in the Civil War it also tells about Indians , historic places , and historic people.

We had a great time at Stately Oaks. The tour was very informative and we found the staff to be helpful and passionate about what they were doing.
