4.5Stately Oaks(296 reviews) - The verbal credentials of this house's docents, the feeling portrayed made history become a reality. Thursday: Spent 1-2 hours Historic Sites • Points of Interest & Landmarks
Stately Oaks is an 1839 antebellum house listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Its plain Greek Revival architecture is representative of the era in which it was built. It was originally constructed in 1839 by Mr. Whitmill Allen who sold his home to Robert McCord in 1858 and then moved to Tyler, Texas. It is located in Jonesboro, GA., the very city where Scarlett had to pay the taxes on Tara. Even though Tara only existed in Margaret Mitchell's imagination, she placed Tara in Clayton County where she had visited relatives who lived on a large plantation south of Jonesboro. Many of the stories she heard as a child are in the movie. Clayton County is truly home of Gone With the Wind. Also on site, are a one room schoolhouse, a tenant cabin, cook's house, country store, blacksmith shop and Native American Indian Village.See more..

Don't be intimidated by the 400+ stairs. I got winded a few times, but it was a moderate challenge (I mean, my calves are still sore a day later, but overall it wasn't horrible). And the view was worth it. I went early in the morning and found it not crowded and very peaceful.See more..

4.0Radium Springs gardens(78 reviews) - FINALLY Got To See This! Points of Interest & Landmarks • Gardens
We came once before, but were unable to enter because of storm damage. It's such a shame that so much of the original hotel had to be demolished, but the remaining structure apparently makes a great wedding venue (one was in progress when we arrived). The spring area, although now closed to boating, diving, and swimming, is still splendid to view. This must have been quite to place to visit "in the day". I wouldn't at all be surprised to learn that there was even a railroad spur that came here.See more..

We will visit again.See more..
4.5Euharlee Covered Bridge(30 reviews) - Quaint Little Bridge Spent < 1 hour Points of Interest & Landmarks • Bridges
A lovely little place very popular with tourists and locales where you can find families, couples, and people taking pictures next to the covered bridge. As so many love to go there for photo shoots, you may have to wait a bit to get the covered bridge by your lonesome. The bridge is a bit old and weary; the wood at times feels it may allow you to plummet into the river/creek below. There is some stone structure nearby. ECBridge is a relaxing place to sit upon the grass and ponder away life's many mysteries.See more..

The Homestead is a nice level walk from the parking lot. In the off-season it is not staffed, but the brochure gives a great deal of information.

I would like to visit again when there are demonstrations of processing sugar cane.See more..

5.0Cedartown Museum of Coca-Cola Memorabilia(13 reviews) - New Museum in Cedartown Thursday: 10:00 AM - 3:00 PM Spent 1-2 hours Historic Sites • Points of Interest & Landmarks • Architectural Buildings
If you don't like the traffic in Atlanta, drive to Cedartown, GA and see the Cedartown Museum of Coca-Cola Memorabilia on Main Street. Using the 1900 Coca-Cola bottling plant in Cedartown, the Morris family, and especially 19-year old Daniel, have been working hard to prepare this place for opening and the result is a fantastic salute to Coca-Cola. The price of admission is very reasonable and the "staff" (the Morris family) are very knowledgeable and hospitable. Be sure to go back often because they are always adding new items to be seen. My favorite is the large mahogany wood bar in the front that came from England. A beautiful monument to the old-style soda fountains.See more..
