Eatonton Attractions
Eatonton's (pop. 6,800) Historic District includes much of the area around the courthouse and city hall. Most of this area, which features Greek Revival and Queen Anne style architecture is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The buildings in this area were built throughout the 1800s.
The Uncle Remus Museum in Eatonton is comprised of two Putnam County slave cabins. The building is similar to the one described by author Joel Chandler Harris as being the house of the character "Uncle Remus". The site is the birthplace of Joseph Sidney Turner, the subject of Uncle Remus' tales.
