Travelers Rest, National Historic Landmark in Stephens County, Georgia, US.
The two-story wooden building features traditional Southern architecture with a covered porch and multiple fireplaces across its expansive structure.
Built in 1815 by James R. Wyly, this structure operated as a stagecoach inn along the Unicoi Turnpike, connecting South Carolina to Tennessee.
The site maintains original furnishings crafted by Massachusetts cabinetmaker Caleb Shaw, representing early 19th-century American craftsmanship.
Visitors can explore the property through self-guided tours, examining period furniture and historical artifacts throughout the restored rooms.
The property belonged to Devereaux Jarrett, who acquired it in 1833 and developed it into part of a 14,400-acre plantation along the Tugaloo River.
