Archibald Smith Plantation

When I think of Georgia and the south I have always thought of huge columns and magnolias and belles in hoops skirts.  At least I found a place that had 2 out of three.  The great thing is that it isn't far from us!



This building was the cookhouse, it was so interesting to me and I couldn't believe how HOT it would have been cooking in there. 




 This room was amazing, I LOVED the crocheted canopy over the bed (oh and the bed).  I also got to see my hoop skirt!

 This trunk had been found in the attic and it had belonged to one of the sons of the man who owned the house.  The owner had died in the Civil War.  The story was so interesting to me.


 In this library there were books that were hundreds of years old.  
 I love all of the rocking chairs on porches in Georgia.  Its definitely a "thing" here and I really love it!
 I couldn't believe all of the buildings that were part of the plantation.  The grounds were really gorgeous!
 They had a exhibit on Emancipation, which was great and I loved the two beautiful pictures hung up in this room.
