Description:

Roswell Georgia (GA) Tours

The childhood home of Mittie Bulloch, President Theodore Roosevelt’s mother, this impressive Greek Revival structure completed in 1839 has been described as one of the most significant houses in Georgia, and one of the South�s few examples of true temple-form architecture. The floor plan, typical to the period features a lofty center entrance hall with an equal number of rooms on each side. The house is beautifully furnished with authentic period furniture. The house includes a Museum Room with history of the family. The grounds include reconstructed slave quarters, privy, summer house, wells, gardens, and museum shop.

Features:

Slave Quarters
The dot-trot slave cabin on the grounds was reconstructed based on the recollections of Virginia Wing Powers, her brother Tony (both former residents) and archaeological remains.

Museum Room
The museum room at Bulloch Hall contains detailed information about the life of Mittie Bulloch, mother of president Theodore Roosevelt. It begins with the story of her family and their arrival in Roswell in 1838 and concludes with the visit to Bulloch Hall by her son, the President in 1905.
