Tour spectacular historic private homes and sites in Valdosta and Quitman
Join us this fall as we journey south to Valdosta and Quitman, Georgia, in celebration of the Lowndes County Bicentennial!
This special weekend invites Ramblers to explore the rich history and architectural heritage of Valdosta, the county seat of Lowndes County, as it marks 200 years. Discover the city’s storied past by visiting its historic landmarks and four National Register Historic Districts, where stunning examples of Victorian, Neoclassical and Craftsman style architecture await.
Stroll beneath the canopy of towering oaks draped in Spanish moss as you take in the charm and grandeur of this historic Southern city. Conclude the weekend in nearby Quitman, known as the Camellia City of Georgia. Quitman boasts one of the largest historic districts per capita in the state, showcasing a remarkable collection of historic architecture.

What are Rambles?
Rambles feature exclusive tours and social events in historic properties not usually open to the public. Tours of historic homes and buildings are self-guided, and guests provide their own transportation. Maps and programs are provided at packet pick-up. Catered meals are offered as part of registration packages; however, there are tour-only (no meals) options as well.
These trips attract hundreds of participants per Ramble and are offered two weekends each year (fall and spring). Recent Rambles have included Augusta, Thomasville, Macon and Newnan.
