Directly
in the path of Sherman's march to the sea, this ante-bellum plantation
home escaped the fate of so many others burned during the Civil
War. Built in 1860, it is also known as the Johnson-Josey-Jordan
House, named for the families who have owned the two-story mansion.
In the mid-1800's, it was the site for a wedding uniting a daughter
in the house to the son of then Governor of Georgia, Herschel
V. Johnson.
Current
owners Hubert and Patsy Jordan have continued the tradition and
hosted many weddings, receptions and parties in their home. Renovations
to the house, in keeping with the integrity of the original design,
have made this bed and breakfast a blend of old-fashioned coziness
and comfort.
All
the rooms, including the bedrooms, are filled with antique furniture,
reproductions and pieces from many places and time periods. Guests
can stay in one of four oversized bedrooms, each with its own
bath.
