Good Park, Could Use Some Love…read more This is a good sized playground to play in for kids, while at the same time it seems forgotten by time in a way with mildew buildup and a broken slide and a broken viewer wheel. It has good attractions still for my almost 3 year old. He really likes the monster truck spring toy for bouncing. There are still a couple slides that work but the big one is literally broken through. The other enclosed slide is streaming to break away at the top as well which will become a safety issue if it gets much more damaged. If they clean and fix a couple things this place would be a real local gem!

But once we boarded the golf cart on the guided tour with Jody, that all changed. The weather was great, which always helps but the knowledge Jody shared at each stop took us back in history. As a teacher, I appreciated each detail and he (Jody) was always ready to answer questions. The property around the museum is where all of the history took place and Tunnel Hill takes great pride in their local treasure. I was surprised to learn all the seemingly small place had to offer. Kudos to all the people who work hard to keep this place alive. My kids and I had a great visit! I will note that it is more for middle school and up. And it's good for the kids to already have some knowledge about the Civil War. I only rate it one star less than perfect because the displays and mannequins need quite a bit of updating. You do have to have a good guide!

The people that work here and the vendors are friendly The food that can be found here are in my tip for this review. But some of my favorites are the fried pickles and fried corn on the cob. If you get the fried corn be sure to have access to butter and salt to taste. I just like to add some of each to mine as they both seem to never be enough as you are eating it. They have a tractor show here too.

This place was quite the glimpse into our state's past. There's enough here to make any history buff happy--a wonderful educational experience for all ages, with an interpretive center that is rich with information. The house is a very nicely restored Mansion once owned by a Cherokee Chief, James Vann. Construction on the house was completed in 1804. The "Friends of the Chief Vann House" take a great deal of pride in their restoration efforts, and there are plenty of volunteers around during the candle-light tour to clue you in on history and trivia about the occupants. They don't seem to pull any punches when talking about the Trail of Tears, and how the Cherokee were treated back then. Vann House was working plantation with slaves, so there is also a good deal of information about the treatment of the estate's slaves, getting down to some history on specific individuals. The amount of research that has been done on the Vann House is impressive. They also have "Vann House Days" during the summer. And the site is not far from New Echota Historic Site. Next time we'll visit both when we're in the area. Holler if you're coming with.

It is a beautiful park and we had gorgeous 65 degree sunny weather to enjoy the park. We stopped at the park and went in. During the 1790s, James Vann became a Cherokee Indian leader and wealthy businessman. He established the largest and most prosperous plantation in the Cherokee Nation, covering 1,000 acres of what is now Murray County.. In 1804 he completed construction of a beautiful 2 1/2-story brick home that was the most elegant in the Cherokee Nation. After Vann was murdered in 1809, his son Joseph inherited the mansion and plantation. Joseph was also a Cherokee leader and became even more wealthy than his father. When In the 1830s almost the entire Cherokee Nation was forced west by state and federal troops on the infamous Trail of Tears. The Vann family lost their elegant home, rebuilding in the Cherokee Territory of Oklahoma. Today the Vann House survives as Georgia's best-preserved historic Cherokee Indian home. A guided tour allows visitors to see the house which features beautiful hand carvings, a remarkable "floating" staircase, a 12-foot mantle and fine antiques It cost only $6 per adult to tour the site including the museum inside the Visitors center and the outer buildings around the plantation home.
