Callaway Plantation

Callaway Plantation humbly began with a log cabin in 1785 built by Job Callaway and grew to a 3,000-acre working plantation complete with a brick mansion by the 1860s. Telling the intimate story of one family's legacy, visitors can see, feel and touch 200 years of Wilkes County history. The property was passed down through the Callaway family and in the 1980s was given as a gift by the Callaway family to the City of Washington.

Robert Toombs House

A legend in his own time, Robert Toombs was a successful planter and lawyer, state legislator, U.S. Congressman and Senator. “Defend yourselves; the enemy is at your door...!” thundered Toombs from the Senate floor on January 24, 1860. The following year, Georgia seceded from the Union and Toombs personified the South by evolving from conservative Unionist to fire-breathing secessionist. After serving just five months as Confederate Secretary of State, he resigned to serve as brigadier general in the Army of Northern Virginia. In 1870, as the Reconstruction Era drew to a close, Toombs felt Georgia should live under a constitution of her own making. His last service to Georgia citizens was helping create the Constitution of 1877, which was not amended until 1945. Visitors are welcome to tour the house and grounds, and view exhibits and displays.
