Roscoe-Dunaway Gardens Historic District, Historic district with rock gardens in Coweta County, United States.
The Roscoe-Dunaway Gardens Historic District is a site with rock formations, gardens, and historic buildings in Georgia. The area includes nearly eighty structures, spring-fed pools, a waterfall, and landscaped gardens situated within granite formations.
The property was established in the 1930s as a center for artistic training and performance. The founder directed the construction over many years before opening it to the public.
The place served as a theater training center where performers worked and held shows for audiences. Visitors could watch productions set among the natural rock formations and gardens.
The grounds were reopened to visitors in the early 2000s following extensive restoration work. You can explore the historic buildings, gardens, and rock formations at your own pace.
The swimming pool was created through an unusual method: workers deliberately blasted solid granite to form a natural water basin. This approach reveals the founders' creative vision for shaping the landscape.
