5. Hay House

This fine 18,000 square foot antebellum mansion was built in 1855 and managed to survive the War Between the States. It is known for its beautiful stained-glass windows and Italian Renaissance Revival style architecture which was uncommon for residential use at the time of its construction. The house serves as an elegant setting for weddings, receptions, banquets and other occasions. The month of December is a special time at the house with live music, decorations and luncheons. Guided tours are given year round at the top of the hour beginning at 10:00am with the last tour at 3:00pm. The schedule is seasonal and the house is closed on major holidays so call ahead.   (© 10Best)
