Cannonball House

Cannonball House The Cannonball House, named for damage sustained during the War Between the States, was built in 1853 Few structures of this type remain in the South today.

The Cannonball House is an example of authentic Greek Revival architecture containing fine period furnishings. The house is also the repository for the Founders’ parlors of the Adelphean (ΑΔΙΙ) and Philomathean (ΦΜ) societies, recreated from Wesleyan College, where they began in 1851 and 1852. The Cannonball House is home to several collections which contain important historical pieces, including

an Adelphean Collection, Civil War and General Museum, Philomathean Museum, and the Servant’s Quarters. To learn more about these great Collections please look here. At the rear of the Cannonball House stands a quaint two-story kitchen built of hand-molded brick. The upper level of this house formerly served as quarters for the house servants. Learn more about what you’ll discover on a tour of the Cannonball House here. The Cannonball House is devoted to acquiring, conserving, interpreting, and exhibiting artifacts reflecting Georgia’s heritage from the antebellum through reconstruction eras. We strive to engage and inspire community members and visitors by presenting authentic and entertaining educational programs, exhibits, and special events through a wide range of history.
