i passed through Washington, Georgia recently, a town where some of my family lived many years ago. The Robert Toombs Historic Site is located at 216 East Robert Toombs Avenue in Washington, Georgia. It was the home of Robert Toombs (1810-85), who was a pro-Union U.S. Representative and U.S. Senator, and then a Confederate General and Confederate Secretary of State during the American Civil War. Operated as a state historic site, the 19th-century period historic house museum also features exhibits about the life of Toombs. The house was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1973.
