WOW! Miss Fanny provided the girls reunion from Baker High School with a fun filled tour of Washington, GA. We felt priviledged to get a glimpse of a few of the beautiful antebellum homes along with lots of local history. Lunch at the Fitzpatrick Hotel was fabulous. Dinner at the Jockey Club was delicious. Shopping on the "Square" was delightful because all of the merchants were so friendly and had such great items in their shops. Thank you Miss Fanny!!!!!

Miss Fanny planned a weekend ‘slumber party’ for twelve ‘girls’ from the class of 1964 from Baker High School in Columbus, Ga. What a good time we had!
Miss Fanny provided us with back to back entertainment that fulfilled and exceeded our every expectation. Her camaraderie with the local merchants provided us with the knowledge of what was available at each location so we were able to use our time wisely. Having four generations from Washington has provided “Miss Fanny” with such historical knowledge of all areas of interest, keeping the entire group asking for more. Each location, we visited, provided us with a foundation source of early community development.
I would highly recommend “Miss Fanny Tours” be placed on your future activity list – each merchant, within Washington, GA bends over backwards to make it a memorable visit and they all made us feel like an active part of the community – not to mention the unique items we were able to purchase.

Miss Fanny's Tours cannot be toped. An adventure you must experience. Elaine outdoes herself. From 'Talk of The Town' to the Callaway Plantation I was a captive of Elaine. I recommend her tour at least 3 times to see everything!

The Baker High girls were able to see the original Southern hospitality provided by Washington, Ga and their residents through Miss Fanny's tour. Everyone in the community from the housekeeping staff at the Southern Elegance to the shop keepers on the square had a smile and a kind word for each and everyone of us. A trip to Washington and a tour by Miss Fanny is well worth the effort.

The girls from Baker High School class of '64 had a fun fillled weekend in Washington. Miss Fannie kept us in stitches with her humor and we were awed by her knowledge of the area. I especially enjoyed the wine bar at the Retro Theater, seeing the antebellum homes, and shopping in the quaint shops on the square. A trip to this charming small town wouldn't be compete without a tour with Miss Fannie.

I brought a group of 20 seniors from our church to visit Washington. I used Miss Fanny's tours upon recommendation from another person. I have to say she provided one of the best tours I have been on. Her combination of knowledge of the town and humor provided an exciting day for our group. We are planning on coming back again next year and using her again.

Don't miss Elaine's tour when visiting Washington, GA. Elaine comes from a four-generation family who has resided in Washington and knows more about the area than you can read in any book. We loved her stories, and enjoyed touring some of the antebellum homes in the area. Thanks for a GREAT Sunday morning tour-Kevin and Lori Little

We almost missed our "Miss Fanny Tour" and are thrilled that we didn't. Elaine is filled with details and a thorough understanding of the town, homes, and history of Washington. We found the tour informative, yet entertaining and light-hearted when appropriate. There is no way Elaine could share all she knows in one tour, so we will be back for more. Don't miss it.

What's the best thing to do on your 60th birthday? Drive to Washington, GA, eat the great food and take a Miss Fanny's Tour! We have taken tours in each of the US cities from coast to coast. The most memorable was Miss Fanny's Tours. Our party included our daughter and son-in-law. All four of us were kept equally entertained, mystified and delighted by our gracious tour guide. She knows everyone, everything, every entry and exit in town and we plan to return soon. Our drive of 95 miles for the day was well worth every second with this fun and interesting hostess!

I moved to Georgia six months ago and just recently visited Washington with a group of friends from Reynolds Plantation. As first time visitors, we allowed Miss Fanny to take us on one of her tours. What a fabulous way to see this charming city and learn the history - the beautiful homes, the historic library with its treasure chest, and the local residents. I will definately be back to learn more from Miss Fanny. Thanks for sharing your stories!

If you love Georgia history and are looking for a quiet and relaxing getaway, then Washington, Georgia is your place to go. I was born and raised in Georgia and thought I had seen most all it has to offer, but little did I know that I had missed one of the most interesting cities in the state. Washington is so rich with all of its history and beautiful antebellum homes. If you go, be sure to take Miss Fanny's tour. Without "Miss Fanny," I would have missed so much. Elaine,(Miss Fanny), is absolutely wonderful. She made me feel at home the moment we met. She is so knowledgeable and tells each story with passion and enthusiasm. I am already looking forward to going back for the Christmas tour of homes.

And lunch was great! Thanks again!

Last evening, my husband, teenage son, his girlfriend, and I had the wonderful experience of going on the "Ghost Tour". We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Living in a town close to Washington and passing throught the city all the time, we will now be on the lookout for the "citizens" we learned about last night!?!! "Miss Fanny" was a wonderful guide and had such interesting tales for us. She kept us all eager to hear more. You know she is a good guide and story teller if she can keep the interest of "old parents" AND 2 teenagers!!! I plan to come for another "normal" tour soon and have lunch in one of the homes. I feel like I have made a new friend in "Miss Fanny"; she is the epitome of a southern lady and southern hospitality!

We decided to take Miss Fanny's Tour and we learned more than we ever would have on our own! The tour was interesting for a 10 year old active boy and fun for the adults too! We all walked away learning more interesting facts and local news than we imagined a small town could hold. Thanks for a great afternoon and a fun experience!
