excellent tour, fascinating history

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 was like for the southern elite. There are also oubuildings on site - a former slave cabin, a one-room schoolhouse, a pumphouse and more. they gave me a tour even though I was the only person there, and it was just amazing. If you get a chance, GO!!! Its all non-profit so its also a way to support historical preservation.
