The Wildflower 301
A Historic Southern Venue with Modern Elegance
Nestled in the heart of the enchanting village of Greensboro, The Wildflower 301 boasts a rich history dating back to 1803. Originally purchased as a potential site for the University of Georgia campus, the land has undergone a captivating transformation over the centuries. When the university was ultimately established in Athens in 1809, the unused lots were sold to a private owner who built a flour mill that still stands behind the mansion today.
By 1810, as the mill flourished, the first structure of what is now The Wildflower 301 began to take shape. This initial building was later expanded into a grand Southern Manor, reflecting the architectural elegance of the time.
Today, The Wildflower 301 is a 5,000 square-foot estate set on 2 acres of meticulously maintained English-style gardens. This breathtaking property offers on-site accommodations and features an additional 7,000 square-foot wedding venue.
