About Thomasville Georgia, the City's history and it's

Annual Victorian Christmas Celebration.

I was delighted when I discovered your website and want to tell you about
our city and our annual Victorian Christmas Celebration.  Thomasville,
Georgia was chartered in 1820, but came to be known following the Civil War,
as the premier Winter Resort in the United States.  Some of the most
luxuriously appointed hotels of America's gilded age were in Thomasville.
Among our more famous visitors were The Vanderbilts, the Goodrich Family,
and President William McKinley.  Many wealthy northern families purchases
plantations that were lost by families who could not afford to pay their
taxes.  Our downtown is filled with beautiful Victorian architecture and has
brick paved streets.  Two of our downtown businesses have been in continuous
operation since the 1850s'--Jerger's Jewelers and Thomas Drug Store.  Each
December, we hold a two night celebration where we bring the beauty and
traditions of Christmas past to life!  Victorian Christmas features streets
bustling with horse drawn carriages, townspeople and merchants in
Victorian-era attire, strolling carolers, street musicians, church choirs,
handball choirs, and street vendors (selling handmade candies, hot
chocolate, mistletoe, cakes, cookies, and other delights). This event has
been named one of the Top Twenty Events in the Southeastern United States by
the Southeast Tourism Society year after year.  

Our historic downtown is a
National Main Street Award winner.  Victorian Christmas will be Thursday and
Friday, Dec. 9 & 10, 2004 from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m.   I invite you to join us.
If you would like more information--please call me at (229) 227-3310 or you
may reach me via email at kimmc@thomasville.org.  Thank you, Kim McCray

Hearthstone

Designed as an architectural showplace, Hearthstone was built between 1881 and 1882 for Henry J. Rogers, a prominent Appleton businessman. On September 30, 1882, it became the first residence in the world to be lighted by a centrally located hydroelectric station using the Edison system.

There is so much more to this house, we really do suggest you visit this both of these web site's and if possible visit the property's.
