3 Gently Rolling Hills & Shady Dales Hills & Dales Estate sits on the crest of a gently rolling hill in LaGrange, Georgia. The centerpiece of the estate is a beautiful Italian villa, designed by the noted architects Hentz and Reid for textile magnate Fuller E. Callaway Sr. Completed in 1916, the home blends with the splendid formal boxwood gardens planted in the mid 19th century by Sarah Coleman Ferrell. The property has been lovingly preserved by two generations of the Callaway family and, in fulfillment of their wishes, is now open for your enjoyment. Bluebirds, cardinals and thrushes all make sweet music in the gardens, and some nights at twelve o'clock the mocking birds serenade us with their thrilling and varied notes. The gardens are open to the public except on Sundays. Of course, sometimes thoughtless persons pull and carry away my most cherished blossoms, but I try to raise enough for them and us too. - ida cason callaway to a friend 1929
