Gordon Lee Mansion Tour
217 Cove Rd
Details:
Construction on the Gordon-Lee Mansion began in 1840 by Mr. James Gordon and was completed in 1847. The home was constructed on a portion of Gordon’s 2,500 acres in northwest Georgia after he moved from Gwinnett County Georgia and started a successful business.The home and grounds are historically significant for several reasons. The grounds were home to the Cherokee Courthouse prior to the displacement of the Cherokees in the Trail of Tears. Also, it is one of very few remaining structures used by both Union and Confederate forces during the Battle of Chickamauga in September 1863. Union General William Rosecrans used the parlor of the home as his headquarters during that battle. Both Union and Confederate troops were treated in the field hospital in the house and on the grounds during that battle.
Shopping and Dining:
Outdoor Market by the train offering homemade gifts, collectibles, specialty food items and more.
