About the Tabor House Museum

Donated to the Gilmer County Historical Society in 2008, the Tabor House was built in the late 1800's and is one of the oldest family home in the city of Ellijay. Step back in time at this Victorian-era 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 Tabor House Museum is open 11am-3pm Thursdays, Fridays, and the first four Saturdays of each month.

For group of 6 or more people who want to visit at a time other than our normal business hours, please contact us in advance to schedule a time.

The museum is open March 20th to December 13th 2025.

Located in Downtown Ellijay, behind the Gilmer County Court House at 138 Spring Street

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.
