We have costumed interpreters or MP3 tours tha

t will guide you on a personal tour of our white columned residence and share with you the history of the house, the ties with the famous book and it's author, and Jonesboro's role in the Atlanta campaign during the Civil War. After the tour of our 1839 home and period outbuildings, we invite you to take a moment to enjoy some quiet relaxation under our beautiful oak trees. Who knows, while you rest on one of our benches or rocking chairs, you just might imagine seeing that dashing and genteel Ashley Wilkes passing by on his way to Juddy's Country Store. This authentic 1896 country store offers ice cold cokes, souvenirs, locally crafted items and a dose of nostalgia. www.historicaljonesboro.com
