Hardman Farm, Sautee Nacoochee

I have lived in North Georgia since 2013 and have never until today had the opportunity to visit the Hardman Farm. I wish I would have known about this place sooner. I found out about it through Georgia State Parks Super Museum Sunday, a free day to visit the state parks historical sights. It will absolutely be on my return list to visit. A wonderful place filled with rich Georgia history. It is well taken care of and the State Park workers and volunteers are very friendly and informative. Other than the ramp down to the gift shop I don’t think it would be easy to maneuver a wheel chair for handicap access. This property has been preserved to its original late 1800’s build. Being such, not a great deal of consideration for wheelchairs. There are clean bathrooms in the gift shop. But the rest of the property has no public restrooms. Be prepared to walk. Remember this was a working dairy farm in the late 1800s and early 1900s. As such… it’s a farm!! A big one! I fully recommend visiting the Hardman Farm.

Home of the future from the late 1800's! This is a truly beautiful and Captivating house built by Captain Nicholas who had some pretty creative ways to heat and cool the home without electricity. JT our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and pleasant. The house had 3 owners and the third was a doctor who added a dairy farm which is also pretty incredible for that time period. This is a must see for everyone. Very rich with history.
