Built around 1815, Traveler's Rest served the Unicoi Turnpike, a busy Federal road in the Appalachians.

Both a stagecoach inn and center of what grew to be a 14,000+ acre plantation. Three generations of the Jarrett family lived here, selling Traveler's Rest and its few remaining acres to the State of Georgia in 1955 for $8,000. This National Historic Landmark is open Saturdays and Sundays for tours - there's so many interesting things to see here, we couldn't get everything in one reel! #toccoaga #georgiahistory #unicoiturnpike #historicpreservation #historicsite #stagecoachinn #historicinn
