Early Hill

Georgia · United States · Manor

A three storey mansion built in the late 1700s. The family's young daughter was killed when a branch broke from the tree in the front garden.

Early Hill at Greensboro, Georgia is a three storey mansion built in the late 1700s for John Brown, later mayor. It was a plantation, and the wealth that raised the house came from the labour of people held in slavery on it.

Brown and his wife had a young daughter. She was killed when a branch broke from the tree in the front garden.

She is seen swinging from that tree at night.

The second tradition concerns her bedroom. Sitting in front of the mirror there is said to produce something, and it is the part guests ask about.

A child killed by a falling branch is an entirely ordinary accident of the period and needs no embellishment. What has kept the account alive is that the tree is still standing in front of the house, and every guest arriving sees it before they see anything else.

The house operates as a bed and breakfast.
