Rose Lawn Museum — Attraction in Cartersville

Rose Lawn Museum is a wonderful tour that I recommend highly. First, the tour guide was excellent and knew all the history of the house along with the fabulous history of the families that lived there. The guide was great and by the end of the tour we felt like we personally knew the Jones family. Secondly, the house is gorgeous in every way, from the architecture to the furnishings. The house is considered an architectural wonder with an amazing story of how it became the house it is today. The home is open for tours Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.
