Our Story

Byron Herbert Reece, often called "Hub," was born on September 14, 1917, in the Choestoe District of Union County, Georgia. In the 40 plus years of his life, he worked hard as a subsistence farmer on his family's Appalachian homestead. His love of literature and gift for writing emerged in childhood, and over the course of his life, Reece produced four volumes of poetry and two novels to critical acclaim. He also received numerous awards for his writing, including American Poet's magazine award in 1943.

The Reece Heritage Farm is located in Union County, Georgia, just south of Blairsville. We are dedicated to preserving Reece’s legacy and the early 20th Century Appalachian style of life. The site offers something for all ages: exhibits, local hand-made goods for sale, and farm animals to meet.

The Farm’s physical address is 8552 Gainesville Hwy, Blairsville, GA 30512. The Farm is open April through November. The property is open daily, and the Visitor Center is open Wednesday through Saturday, 10 to 4. Call 706-745-2034 for more information. There are no admission fees!
