Georgia Sheriffs’ Herrington Homestead
Herrington Homestead near Swainsboro came about in 1994 with the generous gift of the Herrington family property by Miss Nina Herrington, Mr. Frank Herrington and Mrs. Ruby Herrington Drew. The 700 acres of beautiful, verdant farmland has been developed over the years to include a chapel, three cottages, gym, a pool and pool house and spaces for outdoor play. Youngsters at Herrington Homestead find themselves in an inviting and lovely environment with caring house parents and staff members. The staff also maintains the Herrington Family Cemetery on the grounds of the property. The nearby community of Swainsboro provides plenty of opportunity for friendly interaction and involvement. The boys and girls at Herrington Homestead are involved in local schools, churches and the community life in Emanuel County. This farming community allows the boys and girls to learn about and appreciate the beauty and value of our natural environment.
