A. H. Stephens State Park, State park and heritage site in Crawfordville, United States
A. H. Stephens State Park covers 1,177 acres in Crawfordville, Georgia, and holds Liberty Hall, the two-story 4x4 house with four rooms on each level that Stephens rebuilt in 1875 in its original 1875 style. The park also has mill ponds for fishing, nature trails, and a museum with one of Georgia's largest collections of American Civil War artifacts. Its grounds include Colonial Revival and Rustic Style buildings raised by the Civilian Conservation Corps and Works Progress Administration in the 1930s.
Alexander H. Stephens bought the estate in 1845 and lived there until 1875, when he tore down the main structure to build Liberty Hall. After his death in 1883, the house passed to his surviving relatives and served as a boardinghouse until 1932, when it was donated to Georgia. The state received the land in 1933 to establish Georgia's third-oldest state park.
The park is named for Alexander H. Stephens, who served as vice president of the Confederate States of America and as a Georgia governor. Liberty Hall, his 1834 home, is also called Bachelor's Hall, and his books are kept in a smaller building behind it. The museum holds one of Georgia's largest collections of Civil War artifacts.
The park offers several lodging options for visitors, including camping areas and lakeside cottages. Trails and riding paths cross the grounds, making it accessible for different outdoor activities.
