Ware, Oakley is more 1820s vernacular, and Rosedown is high-style antebellum, depending on what you prefer. But both are great places with good tours. It's a shame you can't do more than one, since they're so close together. But it's a treat just to drive around and look at architecture....

There are so many beautiful places I have found online (Rosedown, Catalpa, Myrtles, Oakley...). I don't want to drive right past a gem, but unfortunately we will probably only have time for one house tour. Any suggestions? Thanks, Ware L.W.S.
