The Veranda Historic Inn
"Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, this 1906 Greek Revival mansion was originally the Holberg Hotel. The 8,000 square foot Inn with nine guest bedrooms still has its original features: Georgia heart pine floors, ornate tin ceilings, elegant light fixtures and chandeliers, and eleven fireplaces. A beautiful garden, rocking chairs, and porch swings on the generous wrap-around veranda add to your journey back in time. You’ll also enjoy the Inn’s upstairs library with its hundreds of books and magazines. You can read in your room, the library or one of the eighteen other rooms and parlors.
Many notable people have been guests at The Veranda. For many years Confederate soldiers held their yearly reunions here; Margaret Mitchell interviewed Confederate Veterans for “Gone With the Wind”; William Jennings Bryan (of the Scopes Trial fame) stayed here in 1908 while running for President. The movie, “Broken Bridges”, was also filmed at The Veranda in 2006."
