James L. Lemon Antebellum Home Museum

Built in 1856 by Captain James Lile Lemon, this Carolina-style, modified Plantation Plain House served as General William T. Sherman's headquarters and staff berthing during the time period of June 6-9, 1864. After the Battle of Kennesaw Mountain, the house was also used as a federal field hospital, and for that reason, was one of the few structures spared when the town was burned in November 1864. The Lemon House is open for tours by appointment only and for an admission fee. For more information, please call (770) 917-9153.
