A legend in his own time, Robert Toombs was a successful planter and lawyer who
led a turbulent career as state legislator, U.S. Congressman and Senator.
"Defend yourselves; the enemy is at your door!" thundered Toombs in 1860.
In 1870, as the Reconstruction Era drew to a close in Georgia, Toombs felt that
Georgia should live under a constitution of her own making. His last
service to Georgia was helping create the Constitution of 1877, which was not
amended until 1945. Visitors are welcome to tour the house and grounds,
view exhibits and displays. Enjoy a dramatic film portraying an elderly Toombs
relating his story to a young reporter. Admission:
$1.75 - $3. Group rates available
with advance notice. Closed on Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years Day. Bus
parking available.
Located
on western shore of 70,000-acre Clarks Hill Lake
