The Old Campbell

County Historical Society is sponsoring a Christmas Tour of Homes Saturday

from 4-8 p.m.

Tickets are

$10 in advance and $12 at the door. Student tickets are $5.

The tour will

begin at the Old Campbell County Historical Society in the old county

courthouse. Six homes are on the tour, including the W.T. Roberts home,

the R.C. Beavers home, the W.A. McCurry home, the J.W. Amoss home, the

Longino-Ward home and the Reese-Chapman home.

The Chapman-Williams

home at 81 East Broad Street in Fairburn was built in 1897 by Edward B.

Chapman. A Confederate soldier, he used the same first-floor plan as the

Davenport-Jones house, which was built the same year.

Many of the

bricks in the front walkway were made on site and the granite used in

the walkway is from Stone Mountain. There are five coal-burning fireplaces,

floors with heart of pine and ceilings more than 14 feet high.

The current

residents, Keith and Jackie Williams, are very involved in the Southside

Theatre Guild and have won many awards for acting and technical achievements.
