Tabor House Museum - Gilmer County Historical Society — Attraction in Ellijay

I've been visiting the area for over a decade, but on this last trip, I discovered Tabor House for the first time while driving through town. My family and I are huge history buffs, so stumbling upon this was a real treat!

Pretty cool. Everyone was very nice. Learned some memorable stuff, actually probably the most memorable part of the trip. Well, other than driving up those crazy roads to our cabin.

Dr Cox and the other Tabor House Museum volunteer provided a knowledgeable and interactive guided tour through this two-story historic home.

There are many donated artifacts that are on display at this museum, with the two volunteers providing background stories of several of them. If you're looking for a glimpse and walk back in time of local and state history, while in Ellijay, Georgia, I recommend this free guided tour. Donations...
