The Magnolia House and Garden serves as a gateway to a normal life for women who have strayed from their families, their communities, and their God. Here the women learn new skills, earn money for their eventual return to society, and build a new life on the secure foundation of Biblical principles. They dedicate themselves to serving your needs no matter what the occasion.

THE HOUSE
The Magnolia House and Garden was crafted from a residence that had fallen on hard times. After nearly a year of renovations - which included the installation of a state-of-the-art kitchen, completely new flooring, doors, windows, and bathrooms – the event center was not completely ready. The inside was almost totally new but the outside needed work, lots of work.
Greenhouse
The Greenhouse, or as it was known in the late 1800's the Looney-Hanes House, was originally built to house the president of, the now ceased, Middle Georgia College. The house was built by Mr. Elijah Hanes, a farmer who gained a fortune during the Dahlonega Gold Rush of the 1820's. In addition to housing the college president, it was also used to board some of the male students attending the college.
THE GARDEN
The Magnolia House would not be the same without its Garden. This small yet stately gardens are populated with the brilliant colors of nature, including, of course, an abundance of Magnolia trees. Your guests will mingle with delicate Indigos, stroll past rows of Azaleas, be enchanted by beds of Roses, and be encircled with all the captivating fragrances of the myriad flowers.
Fairytales can happen, and while the Magnolia House and Garden does not have a resident Fairy Godmother, our seasoned experts work tirelessly to make your dreams come true! When you book your rehearsal dinner, wedding reception, bridal shower, engagement party, or the inevitable baby shower with us, our staff is almost magical in what they can conjure up. Stage your party indoors in the elegant dining hall or go outdoors among the flowers where we can prepare a number of tables to seat 150 guests or set you up under our covered pavilion that holds up to 48 people. The choice is yours!
