Explore Greene County’s Rich History at the Upcoming Historical Tour
The Greene County Historical Society invites you to explore the rich history of Greene County through the Historical Tour. This unique event features over 20 stops at historic homes, churches, and other significant sites in Greensboro, Siloam, White Plains, Liberty, and Union Point, providing an exclusive opportunity to step back in time and appreciate the architectural beauty and cultural heritage that shaped our community.
Highlights include the charming Wildwood in Liberty, home of Angela and Scott Deering. Nestled in the woods and completed in 2005, this stone cottage incorporates elements from the 1870s Smith-Strickland house and other antique features from Siloam, White Plains, Penfield, and beyond, creating an ambiance that transports visitors to the past.
The tour also features the stunning Davis House in Downtown Greensboro. Built in 1874 by merchant and banker Charles A. Davis, this Italianate-style home includes an intact ironing house, tack barn, and root cellar. Crafted from handmade brick, it features unique architectural details such as bracketed eaves and terra cotta window accents. Inside, you'll find Atlanta-crafted woodwork, an octagonal library with black walnut shelving, and marble-top washstands with hot and cold water in each bedroom.
Whether you’re a history enthusiast or simply looking for an enriching way to spend the day, the Historical Tour offers a fascinating glimpse into Greene County’s heritage.
