Located on Monument Square across from the courthouse, this antebellum survivor is stable but in dire need of further restoration. It’s one of my many favorites in Sparta, a town worth the drive from anywhere in Georgia. I’ve met some really nice folks here who are proud to talk about their rich history. The town was founded in 1795 by Major Charles Abercrombie, a veteran of the American Revolution.
