Thomasville, GA — In celebration of Thomasville’s beloved Rose Festival, Pebble Hill Plantation is pleased to offer guided Grounds and Outbuildings Tours along with a special 20% discount on all admission during Rose Festival weekend, April 24–26.
The guided Grounds and Outbuildings Tours will take place on Friday, April 24, with both a morning and afternoon option available for guests. These tours provide a unique opportunity to explore Pebble Hill’s historic landscape, featuring its renowned plantings and a collection of fascinating outbuildings, including the Dairy/Stable Complex and the Kennel Cottage.
Spring is a beautiful time to visit Pebble Hill, as the grounds are in peak bloom, offering guests a vibrant and memorable outdoor experience. The Kitchen Garden is putting on a stunning display of snapdragons and other spring blooms.
This year’s festivities are especially meaningful as Thomasville and Thomas County celebrate their Bicentennial. Pebble Hill marked its own Bicentennial last year, further highlighting its deep roots in the region’s history. Founder Thomas Jefferson Johnson played a pivotal role in the area’s development, having co-sponsored the 1825 Georgia legislative bill that established Thomas and Lowndes Counties.
The Rose Festival, a cherished Thomasville tradition since 1922, provides the perfect backdrop for visitors to experience the beauty and history of Pebble Hill Plantation.
As part of the city and county’s Bicentennial observances, Pebble Hill has a very special exhibit in the Elisabeth Ireland Poe Gallery, chronicling the history of Pebble Hill and the contributions made to the community by the Hanna and Ireland families who owned Pebble Hill from 1896 to 1978.
