The Historic Magnolia House (former Green Book location for African Americans during segregation)
The Historic Magnolia House opened in 1949 as one of the only hotels between Atlanta, Georgia and Richmond, Virginia that allowed Black American travelers to stay overnight due to lodging restrictions under Jim Crow. The house grew in notoriety after appearing in the Negro Motorist Green Book created by Victor Green in 1949. The Green Book served as a traveler's guide that detailed lodging, businesses, and other services deemed safe for Black patrons. Patrons of the Magnolia included celebrities, including James Brown, Tina Turner, Carter G. Woodson, Ray Charles, Gladys Knight, and Jackie Robinson.
