In The Downtown Area!

Convenient to Marta and the many restaurants of Decatur, Historic courthouse that is still being used. I hope they can keep it in good repair. They don't make buildings like this any more. A piece of history!

My niece's wedding

Beautiful place for a wedding. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves!! My niece had her wedding ceremony there. Lower level was great for a cocktail hour. Plus they were able to have their wedding photos done in the courtyard.

Pretty Good

On it's own it is pretty good but once you add the activities that they sometimes have here (mainly for kids) it is incredible! I love it! They dress up as characters from the civil war, do performances and tell stories! I loved it! Check...More
