Historic Rock House

Constructed by Thomas Ansley, the Rock House in McDuffie County is one of the few remaining structures linked to Georgia’s small 18th-century Quaker community of Wrightsboro. Recent dendrochronology testing has revealed a c. 1795 construction date. Considered to be the oldest stone house in the state, it was also home to ancestors of former President Jimmy Carter. Listed in the National Register of Historic Places since 1970, the Rock House is recognized as a unique historic resource, deserving of careful preservation.
