Pebble Hill Plantation, Historic plantation and museum in Thomasville, United States.
Description
Pebble Hill Plantation is a large estate of about 3,000 acres with a grand mansion, carefully designed gardens, and several preserved farm buildings from the 1800s. The main house contains period furnishings, and the entire property demonstrates the layout and scale of a major working plantation.
History
The property began as a cotton plantation and later became a winter retreat for wealthy Northern families in 1896. This shift transformed the land from a working agricultural operation into an estate for leisure and residence.
Culture
The collection displays hunting and equestrian art alongside vintage carriages and riding equipment that reflect how wealthy families spent their leisure time. Visitors can explore these objects throughout the property and understand the pastimes of the Southern upper class.
Practical
Visitors join guided group tours through the main house, available most days of the week. The grounds are large, so plan to spend several hours and wear comfortable shoes for walking across the property.
Did you know?
The property holds one of the earliest film recordings from Georgia, filmed in 1917 and now stored at the University of Georgia archives. This rare footage captures everyday life on the estate during the early days of motion pictures.
