Have you visited the stables?

There is a great article in the fall 2010 issue [ under archives] of The Pebble Hill Rambler that gives you an incredible amount of information on the Pebble Hill stable complex. The article is kid-friendly--that is kid-friendly for young kids and old kids alike.

Have you visited the Ark?

In the summer 2009 edition of The Pebble Hill Rambler there is an article title "Have you Visited the Ark?" You can find this issue of the Rambler under the archives section on the Pebble Hill Rambler web page. This is your opportunity to learn about the unusual structure that is located near the large pond on Pebble Hill.

Visit Pebble Hill

Pebble Hill offers many areas of interest for children. Children of all ages are invited to bring their families and explore our grounds. Plan a picnic by the pond, pet the horses, wander through the garden maze, and enjoy a great day outdoors. Children under 6, however, are not allowed to tour the Main House. For parents with small children under 6 years of age, we have furnished an area inside the Visitor's Center [the Little Wranglers Corral] where you and your little ones are welcome to wait - if desired - for others in your party who are touring the house.

Student Groups

Organized student group tours can be arranged and tailored to suit the ages of the students. Students must be 6 years or older to tour the Main House. Maps are furnished for self-guided tours of the grounds. Wagon rides (weather permitting) and picnics can be included. Contact Lori Curtis in the Museum Office (229-227-5390) or email her for details and special rates.

A Pebble Hill representative is always available to come to your school to present a program about the plantation. This overview is especially beneficial for groups planning field trips to Pebble Hill. Contact Barbara Cohenour, the Museum Manager, at this email address: bcohenour@pebblehill.com or 229-227-5382.
