This website will detail and describe the reclamation of the historic Dunaway Gardens established by Hetty Jane Dunaway, on her husband's (Wayne P. Sewell) cotton plantation. The property is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. We have posted a photographic chronicle as the restoration progressed. Photos from the heyday of Dunaway Gardens depict various scenes from the gardens most popular times during the early 30's and 40's. The gardens were composed of a variety of areas such as the Arrowhead Pools, a terraced Amphitheater that would seat over a thousand people, Blue Bonnet Tea Room, the Patchwork Barn indoor theater, the Wedding Tree, and the Honeymoon House called Shangri-la. The area known as "Little Stone Mountain" is greater than one acre of solid granite. Dunaway Gardens has been described as one of the south's largest natural rock and floral gardens. There are spring-fed pools, stone waterfalls and extensive hand-laid rock paths, walls, and staircases throughout the approximately twenty five acre tract.     Dunaway Gardens was a favored getaway for the gardens themselves and their breathtaking beauty.
