In 1792, Jonathan Dickerman II built a farmhouse in Hamden, south of the Sleeping Giant, also known as Mount Carmel. Originally located on the north side of Mount Carmel Avenue, the house was acquired by the state in 1924, serving for a time as a ranger station when the Sleeping Giant State Park was being created. In 1961, when the Avenue was being straightened, the state gave the Dickerman House to the town and, the following year, it was moved across the street to its current location by the Hamden Historical Society. A historic cider mill barn was moved to the property in 1992 and an outhouse in 2002.
Jonathan Dickerman II House (1792)
I live in a reproduction of the Johnathan Dickerman House in Summerville, Georgia. It was built in 1978 by a cousin of mine who has since died. Can you tell me if and/or when the Johnathan Dickerman House is open for tours.
Thanks for your help.

Sorry to say the EF-1 Tornado on Tuesday, May 15, 2018 badly damaged the Dickerman House and sent a huge branch through the Cider Barn’s nearly collapsing the barn. Here’s the link to their facebook page–you may have to cut & paste
