Back in the 1920s all the way through the 1940s, Dunaway Gardens was a place for Hollywood producers, directors, and performers to come and practice their craft.

The grounds were so alluring, that many creative minds found solace and sanctuary during the Golden Years.

Over the years, the entire garden was restored to its natural beauty, and people from all walks of life could enjoy the lush greenery in abundance.

One of the most intriguing spots in the garden is the giant reflection pool carved into a huge granite outcropping, perfect for sitting in silence and enjoying the afternoon.

No matter the time of year, there is still an allure to Dunaway Gardens that can't be beat.

It is like Georgia's very own secret garden.

The gardens have hosted a wide array of people over the years from ballet troupes to even Walt Disney and Minnie Pearl.
