About the Tabor House Museum

Donated to the Gilmer County Historical Society in 2008, the Tabor House is the oldest family home in the city of Ellijay. Step back in time at this 1870's Victorian-era reconstruction period home filled with artifacts of North Georgia's history of the Cherokee Indians, early settlers, local history, the Civil War, and military history.

We welcome visitors to tour the Tabor House Museum either self-guided or with a volunteer who can share interesting details about the Tabor House and the displays.

Tours are FREE.

Donations are appreciated.

The Gilmer County Historical Society, Inc. (formerly Historic Preservation Society) was formed in 2004. In 2007 the organization’s name was changed and a 501c3 non-profit was formed.

We believe that every town has a history, and that history involves persons, localities, and incidents which may be highly important to know for years to come.
