The sense of southern charm and sophistication inspire classic romance, making it a worthy location for a celebration of love. Historical yet welcoming, 255 Milledge invites you in with towering oaks, marble fireplaces, and lush gardens. Our location is secluded enough to transport you to another time, but also just minutes from downtown Athens, Five Points, and University of Georgia.  With both indoor and outdoor space, the Hardeman-Sams estate is the perfect canvas to host any event year-round. ​

Located in the heart of historic Athens, the Hardeman-Sams House & Gardens offers a seamless blend of historic character and modern elegance. ​
