Vickery House, one of the town’s most beloved structures, which was built as a three-room home in 1860 and later expanded to 12 rooms. In 1974, the house was given to the Dahlonega Club, which used grant money and contributions to restore this icon of the town’s heritage into a museum. It’s the first structure in town listed on the National Register. One room is dedicated to Ella Ray Oakes.
An endowment ensures its future care, paid for by rent charged to vendors at every July 4 celebration—usually about $2,500.
