- Description:
- Bonner House, circa 1845, built for Thomas Bonner, one of the state's largest plantation owners who enslaved more than 200 people on his Carroll County farm properties. In 1906, the former Bonner Plantation was turned over to the state of Georgia, where it became the center of the University of West Georgia campus. Bonner House has served as both administrative offices and a welcome center at the university. A collaborative archaeological project "Along the Ridge," conducted in 2018-2019, sought to memorialize the lives of those buried on Bonner's properties. Variant names include: Bonner House.
