Original portion of house built by Billy Hoxley. It was purchased and extensively remodeled in 1837 by Dr. Fielding Ficklen who combined the original structure with his plantation house moved from 7 miles away by ox cart.
Verena Davis briefly stayed at Holly Court while she waited for her husband Jefferson Davis (president of the Confederacy) who was fleeing capture by Union Forces.
The Confederacy was dissolved in Washington, GA in 1865. There remain rumors that the Confederate treasury remains buried somewhere near Washington. |
