Callaway Historic Site, located in Washington, GA, is an extensive 56-acre property that showcases over 150 years of architectural history and diverse cultural heritage in Wilkes County. Established in 1783 through land grants to the Callaway brothers for their service in the Revolutionary War, the site features several unique historical structures including cabins, homes, and a one-room schoolhouse, each offering visitors a glimpse into the region's past.
The estate was maintained within the Callaway family until the last descendant left in 1910, after which it remained dormant for several decades before being deeded to the city. Today, the site serves as a living history venue, providing educational opportunities and community events that highlight its rich legacy and the historical significance of the area.
