Callaway Plantation

About Us

In 1783, four Callaway brothers, Job, John, Joseph, and Joshua, were granted 1,000 acres each for their honorable service in the Revolutionary War. According to his Last Will & Testament, Job Callaway eventually amassed 3,382 acres. The land was divided between his sons, one of whom was Jacob Callaway, who inherited 558 acres of his father's estate. The land grew and shrank through the generations until 1910, when the last Callaway Descendant left the property for the last time. Callaway would sit vacant for 50 years until Katie Mae Arnold Hardin deeded her portion of the Estate to the City of Washington.  Today, Callaway Historic Site stands as a 56-acre reminder of the past. spanning over 150 years of architectural designs and a rich and diverse History of Wilkes County Georgia 1783-1930. 


Gifted to the City of Washington by the Callaway family, the property is now home to unique historical structures open for public tour - the Log Stephen Heard Cabin (1785),Gov. George Gilmer Childhood Home (1800), the Job Callaway Grey House (1818), Brick Greek Revival (1840-1845), Dally Slave Cabin (1840), a one-room schoolhouse (1891), and the T.J Jackson & Co. General Merchandise (1930).
