Also known by the names of other owners (Reid-Green-Edison-Lawrence House), this landmark of the Greek Revival style is one of Eatonton’s most impressive homes, especially in its setting at the end of Wayne Street. Legend holds that Alexander Sidney Reid spent ten years gathering materials and three years building it.

This was the plantation where generations of my ancestors were enslaved… my great grandmother even lived on this plantation until she was 20.
What was her name? I think that’s important, as well. Sharing the names of the enslaved is a powerful way of remembering them, and something I’m really trying to do.
This was my ancestors I just found them un beleivable
How nice. Great house, too!
Alexander Reid is my 5th great grandfather.
