| Description |
| Magnolia Grove is an excellent example of the temple form of Greek Revival architecture. Built about 1840 as the town house of Colonel and Mrs Isaac Croom, it was also the boyhood home of Admiral Richard Pearson Hobson, Spanish American War hero. The 12-acre site features 3 original outbuildings, as well as magnolias, camellias, boxwood, and other traditional Southern garden plants. Furnishings, some of which date to the 1830s, belonged to the Croom and Hobson families.Special programs include guided tours upon request; the Catfish Festival Pilgrimage in September; and the Christmas Open House in December.
