A National Historic Landmark, Hickory Hill was a home of Georgia Populist Party co-founder and U.S. Senator Thomas E. Watson (1856-1922).
Thomas E. Watson purchased the house that he would christen “Hickory Hill” in 1900. Watson extensively renovated the home before occupying it in 1904. He added the impressive portico, numerous Greek revival elements, and extended the rear of the home. The side porches were added around 1912.
