Hall County Parks & Leisure Services has partnered with Hall County Master Gardeners to plan an era-specific garden and landscape design for the site of the Col. James Roberts cabin, located at Cherokee Bluffs Park.
Built in the early 1800s, the cabin was the home of Col. James Roberts, a retired American Revolutionary War veteran. The cabin sat for almost 200 years at the intersection of Hog Mountain Road and Friendship Road. Development and widening of the intersection threatened the home until the Roberts family, in partnership with the Hall County Historical Society, had the cabin dismantled and donated to Hall County Parks & Leisure to be restored and preserved.
The Master Gardeners and Parks & Leisure staff researched era-specific gardens and landscapes to design a site that will accurately reflect plant life, a kitchen herb garden, and indigenous plants and trees that would have been found at a home in north Georgia during the 1800s.
