Historic Landmark Tour

November 4, 2016

Abbie Parks, the owner of the historic McMillan House located in Acworth, led a tour of her home and three other historic landmarks, along with the Rosenwald School and Bethel A.M.E. Church as part of a benefit for Brookwood Christian School. The school, which specializes in language-based learning disabilities, is raising money to construct a building to house additional classrooms, an auditorium and an art room.
