Governing In the Parlor: Touring Gwinnett’s Winn House

The Elisha Winn House stands handsomely off a country road in Dacula. A two-story 19th century house with a wide porch and white columns, its cross between stateliness and country charm fits its history. Built in 1812, it was the home of Judge Elisha Winn and the site of the very beginnings of Gwinnett County. We met Elaine Roberts, president of the Gwinnett Historical Society there for a walk through one of the oldest buildings in metro Atlanta.

The Gwinnett Historical Society is celebrating the 200th anniversary of the Winn House this Saturday and Sunday with the Elisha Winn Fair. You can find more information on their website.
