Join Jacob Richardson as he walks through Cobbham, Athens' first neighborhood! The tour goes by homes from the 1830s to the 1920s with a wide range of architecture styles. Some of the stops include Athens Fire Hall No. 2, the Historic Athens office built in 1901 that still has the original fire pole and fireman's lockers. Also on the tour is Jester House, a Second Empire Victorian house from 1890 that was restored in the 1980s. The last stop will be the T.R.R. Cobb House Museum, the most well traveled house in Athens having made a round trip to Stone Mountain. Built around 1830, it has 2 octagonal wings possibly based off of the Governor's Mansion in Milledgeville.

Jacob Richardson moved to Athens 7 years ago to attend UGA. After graduating with a Bachelor's in History in 2019, he decided to stay. He's worked with the Historic Athens Welcome Center for 2 years starting as a Tour Guide and now as the Collections and Cataloging Assistant cataloging the Historic Athens collection and doing historical research.
