Stone Mountain Park's Historic Square assembled nineteen real 18th- and 19th-century buildings relocated from across Georgia into a single preserved complex, including the reconstructed slave cabins, smokehouse, and overseer's house. The circa-1790s Thornton House, moved from Greene County, is believed to be haunted by the spirit of a young girl who died of polio in the early 1900s; she is frequently reported on the staircase leading to the second floor. The 1850 Dickey House, relocated from Albany in 1961 to serve as the plantation's centerpiece, has its own reported haunting: Confederate re-enactors camping on the lawn have described seeing a woman in the top-floor windows at night. The Dickey House was damaged by fire in 2023 and its future use remains undecided.
Historic Square inside Stone Mountain Park, a collection of relocated 18th- and 19th-century buildings. Park admission or a parking pass is required. The antebellum plantation buildings interpret the lives of the enslaved people who lived there too.
