During the 1790s, James Vann became a Cherokee Indian leader and wealthy businessman. He established the largest and most prosperous plantation in the Cherokee Nation, covering 1,000 acres of what is now Murray County. In 1804 he completed construction of a 2-and-a-half-story brick home that was the most elegant in the Cherokee Nation. After Vann was murdered in 1809, his son Joseph inherited the mansion and plantation. Joseph was also a Cherokee leader and became even more wealthy than his father. In the 1830s almost the entire Cherokee Nation was forced west by state and federal troops on the infamous Trail of Tears. The Vann family lost their elegant home, rebuilding in the Cherokee Territory of Oklahoma. Today the Vann House survives as Georgia's best-preserved historic Cherokee Indian home. A guided tour allows visitors to see the house which features hand carvings, a "floating" staircase, a 12-foot mantle, and fine antiques.

The site offers tours, exhibits, a film, demonstrations, and recreational and educational events.

This beautiful plantation represents the history and culture of Georgia's rice coast. In the early 1800s, William Brailsford of Charleston carved a rice plantation from marshes along the Altamaha River. The plantation and its inhabitants were part of the genteel low-country society that developed during the antebellum period. While many factors made rice cultivation increasingly difficult in the years after the Civil War, the family continued to grow rice until 1913.

Today, at the plantation, a museum features silver from the family collection and a model of Hofwyl-Broadfield during its heyday. A brief film on the plantation's history is shown before visitors walk a short trail to the antebellum home. A guided tour allows visitors to see the home as Ophelia kept it with family heirlooms, 18th- and 19th-century furniture and Cantonese china. As one of the Colonial Coast Birding Trail sites, Hofwyl-Broadfield offers a nature trail that leads back to the Visitors Center along the edge of the marsh where rice once flourished.

The plantation offers exhibits, a film, and tours.

The Athens-Clarke Heritage Foundation seeks to become the leading advocate for the importance of historic preservation to the future of the Athens community. Located at the corner of Thomas and Dougherty Streets in historic downtown, the Foundation's visitor center is in Athens's oldest surviving residence, the Church-Waddel-Brumby House. The Foundation also operates the Ware-Lyndon House, built around 1850 by the first Mayor of Athens—physician and businessman, Edward R. Ware. Today, this two-story brick house represents a blend of the Greek Revival and Italianate styles. The first floor of the home features one of the finest American furniture and decorative arts collections of the Victorian period in Georgia. The house portrays the periods (1850–1890) within which the Ware and Lyndon families resided. A room in the house showcases museum quality memorabilia comprising many of the highlights of Athens history.

The foundation offers driving tours; the Ware-Lyndon House offers tours.
