Summer Open House at Tabor House Museum - Gilmer County Historical Society

Saturday June 7, 11 a.m.-3 p.m.

Hear from Confederate soldiers, who will be set up outside with tables showing what a soldier would have with him besides his weapons. We will also have another upstairs in the Civil War room. He will talk about David Bailey Freeman, the youngest confederate soldier in the war at age 11, who was from Ellijay!

Visitors will learn about the Cherokee who once lived here and the gold mining town of Whitepath, which was on Chief Whitepath’s land. Even the chief & his wife were forced to go on the “Trail of Tears” to Oklahoma, even though a 5lb. “nugget “ was found on his land. Neither the chief or his wife survived the trail.

We will have an original Conestoga Wagon parked out front for people to see what it would be like taking a wagon on the trail instead of walking. It would be a good background for pictures for families.

Get a good taste of local history from the oldest house in Ellijay dated 1870. The cost is $5 & children are free!

The Tabor House museum is located on 138 Spring Street in Ellijay next to the courthouse.
