Strickland House
Alice Harrell Strickland and her husband Henry built this Victorian home in 1898, where they raised seven children before Henry's death in 1917. Widowed and undeterred, Alice opened a floor of the house as a children's clinic when Duluth had no hospital, donated land for Georgia's first community conservation forest, and in 1922 became the first woman elected mayor in Georgia. She lived in the house until her death in 1947, and it now serves as the Duluth History Museum and home of the Duluth Historical Society. Since at least 1977, some locals have claimed the house is still watched over by Alice's ghost, her presence lingering in the rooms of the home she gave to her town.
