Roger and Dianna Gupton invite you to step back in time to a more genteel era in their newly restored Greek Revival Home. The Historic Magnolia House, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, was built in 1890 by Dr. Walter Thomison for his 16-year-old bride as a wedding present.

As you enter the front door of The Historic Magnolia House, you know you're in for more than just a bed & breakfast. Rich warm woods invite you to take off your coat and sit a spell. And if you're wearing a hat, it will be in good company with a collection of vintage hats for guests to wear while taking tea in one of the two parlours. In the back of the hall stands an antique French armoire filled with tea and tea accoutrements for tea enthusiasts, along with many other accessories and antique furniture, for everything in the Magnolia House can be purchased. Three guest rooms are easily accessed by climbing the "ladies steps" staircase.
