We spent a long Valentines Day weekend exploring Thomasville GA, staying at a southern plantation, playing a round of golf, enjoying several top-notch meals, and visiting another plantation. Thomasville GA is about 4 hours from home so a reasonable get-away.

Thomasville is home to several historic plantations that offer a glimpse into the region’s past and provide beautiful settings for various events and activities.

One notable plantation is Pebble Hill Plantation. This 3,000-acre property was transformed from a working farm into a winter home and shooting plantation for the Hanna family of Cleveland, Ohio, in the late 1800s. Today, it is a popular destination for visitors, offering tours of the main house and grounds, as well as hosting unique events such as the annual Pebble Hill Polo Classic.

Another prominent plantation is South Eden Plantation (where we stayed). This family-owned and operated estate spans 38 acres and offers a variety of services, including luxury accommodations, wedding venues, and dining events. South Eden Plantation is known for its beautiful historical property and unique events like “Dining Under the Stars” and live music nights.

Downtown Thomasville, Georgia, is a delightful area that captures the essence of small-town charm. The main drag, Broad Street, is paved with bricks and dotted with boutique shops, restaurants, and local businesses like family-owned jewelry shops and even a drugstore that still lets you charge to your house tab.
