1. Pebble Hill Plantation
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 288 reviews
Pebble Hill Plantation is an estate of 3,000 acres located in Thomasville, Georgia. With two distinct eras, Pebble Hill Plantation is rich in its history and its beauty. Established in the 1820's by Thomas Jefferson Johnson, it survived the Civil War and Reconstruction. Johnson's daughter Julia Ann Mitchell continued to own the historic Pebble Hill until the 1890's. Pebble Hill's modern history begins with its acquisition by Howard Melville Hanna from Cleveland, Ohio in 1896. At that time Thomasville had become a resort area frequented by northern visitors. Hanna's daughter, Kate Hanna Ireland Harvey was given Pebble Hill in 1901 by her father. She enjoyed the site as a winter home and shooting plantation and developed Pebble Hill as it is today. After Mrs. Harvey's death in 1936, the property passed to her daughter, Elisabeth Ireland Poe, who died in 1978. Through her generosity, a private foundation was established so her beloved Pebble Hill could be enjoyed by the public.

Wonderful tour of the house, friendly docents and beautiful grounds for this spring day! Flowers blooming and the bees pollenating - not a better way to enjoy a day in the outskirts of Thomasville.

Odd shaped house with plenty of interesting and tragic stories. A great example of community effort to restore a jewel. It has 3 floors which you visit during your tour and no 2 rooms are alike. Highly recommended.

Unless I'm badly mistaken the Big Oak is on the first street east of Broad and a little north. Information indicated the tree is about 350 years old so seeing it is well worth the very short walk. The next street east is Dawson with some beautiful old homes that are also well worth seeing.
