Ware-Lyndon House

The Ware-Lyndon House in Athens, GA is a historic house museum that showcases the late Greek Revival architecture with Italianate influence. Built in the 1840s, it is the last remaining house in the once fashionable 19th century neighborhood of Lickskillet. The interior has been meticulously restored and adorned with period-appropriate decorative art and furnishings, while the historic display room features informative labels and artifacts that highlight the history of the house and Athens.

Originally owned by prominent physician Edward R. Ware, the property extended to the banks of the Oconee River and included a large wooded tract. Over the years, the house served various purposes, including government offices and a USO site during World War II. In 1973, it became Athens's first government-sponsored community arts program, and in 1988, it was locally designated as a Historic Landmark. Today, the Ware-Lyndon House continues to be a cherished cultural institution, offering art exhibitions, educational programs, and resource services to the community.
