Hardman Farm Preservation Effort Underway in White County
| Fundraising is continuing for preservation of the historic Hardman Farm, located in the Nacoochee Valley of White County. The project is the focus of many preservation partners including The Georgia Trust for Historic Preservation, The Trust for Public Land, The Georgia Department of Natural Resources, The North Georgia Community Foundation, the Hardman Family, and numerous individuals. The plan is to offer visitors a first-hand look and a better understanding of state history and the mountain region by visiting the Hardman Farm. The Farm property includes 173 acres of land, an Italianate farmhouse, and 20 buildings, whose history dates back to 1870. The property is located in the heart of the Nacoochee Valley. Governor Lamartine Hardman's family agreed to donate their farm and valley land to the State of Georgia on the condition that it be permanently protected and managed for educational purposes.
