A Saturday in Athens

By
Real Estate Agent with Keller Williams Realty Greater Athens

This past Saturday being somewhat rainy, we decided to venture out to town.  For awhile we had been meaning to visit the newly restored TRR Cobb House on Hill Street.  This home which had been owned by General Thomas Cobb had been sold and moved to Stone Mountain to be restored there, which never took place.  A few years ago it was moved back to Athens on a lot on Hill Street, close to it's original site.  The docent gave us a complete tour of the house and showed us the improvements and furnishings that they are collecting.  If you go to the website, http://www.trrcobbhouse.org you can take a virtual tour and see what has been accomplished thus far. 

After touring the Cobb house we stopped by the Scottish Heritage Festival for a bit and were impressed with the many clan displays andexhibits.  We'd definitely like to go back next year!
