Once again, I enjoyed the grounds more than the interior, but that's just me.

We did a family photo session here for our family Christmas card. The grounds are beautiful and they do tours of the house as well.

There are Antebellum houses, and then there are ANTEBELLUM houses that sparkle more than most. Barrington Hall is such a place. The grounds, the interiors and the stories are well maintained and the stories well told.

If you want to visit old authentic Olde South, this is the place to go. It is the home of the Founder of Roswell and one of the few pre-Civil War mansions to survive Sherman's attack on Atlanta.

Expertly restored and filled with family possessions. The home and grounds remained in the family until 2002 when it was purchased and expertly restored. Listed as one of the 50... More
