Photo Gallery: Double Cabins

The Double Cabins Plantation is located on old Georgia Highway 16 (3335 Jackson Road, Griffin, Georgia 30223). The building sits on a curve in the road, and due to tree growth is easier seen coming from the east. The plantation is listed as a bed and breakfast, but on my visit (1/27/06) it appeared to be unused. This may be due to the season.

The plantation supposedly has two slave quarters, a museum, and an antebellum garden with rare birds, peacocks, horses and other animals. The rooms converted to bedrooms for the B&B are listed as follows:
