That looks like a lovely home - what was the occasion for dinner there? Sounds like fun!
Have not been to this one, but have been to the current one in Buckhead on W. Paces Ferry Road. Very interesting, did not know it was that old.
Tammy, so is this where Jimmy Carter lived, or does it pre-date his governorship?
David Shamansky first Savannah fell to British forces, then it was decided Augusta was too far east for most people to travel to and then it was moved from Louisville because it wasn't a navigable river for trade, then to Milledgeville, which had major damage during the civil war. Finally to Atlanta.

Patricia Kennedy this predates Carter's birth even. Built in 1839
Joan Whitebook it is quite interesting
Good morning Tammy. I'm sure it is a must see if you are in the area. Some of these mansions as beyond amazing, like the ones in Newport, RI.
Tammy, a good dinner and a bit of history. Does it get any better than that? Enjoy your day!
Indeed, a return trip to Milledgeville is in order Tammy Lankford !! I knew nothing about the college being there....downtown was so cool (both in how it looked and the brisk January temps) and certainly want to see it all in the light of day.
But the best part of course...was time with you!
Joe Petrowsky thre is a museum up in Delaware that has an ansestor's entire dining room in it. I'd like to get up to the NE to see that one day along with a few friends.
Wayne Martin it doesn't
Thom Abbott we can go on the trolly tour :) And you know we always love spending time with you too.
Hi Tammy - how fun that Thom stopped by, and the Governor's Mansion is a beautiful building. That would be fun to see.
Sharon Paxson I was so in awe of the inside when we had dinner there and it's actually undergone some renovations since. When I was in college at Georgia College and State University the dean lived in that house.
Lisa Von Domek went a little more into the history of Milledgeville in tonight's post about the actual former Capitol building. Now Georgia Military College Campus (where my husband went to college)
Aloha Tammy,
What a lovely Federalist styled Mansion in the Greek Revival style. I thought Atlanta was always the capital of Georgia, thanks for the history lesson. Is it the lighting or is the color of the building a light peach?
a hui hou,
Sharon Tara it was a wonderful surprise.
Kimo Stowell it does have a hint of peach in the stucco. I need to get some nice new photos in spring after the renovations.
interesting. I wonder why they changed the city for the capital so much?
