Today we traveled to Washington to tour the Robert Toombs house. He was born in 1810. Became a lawyer, statesman and Mayor. House was built 1797 and Toombs bought in 1837 with 1800 acres. He owned 65 slaves. Toombs is famous for his speech during the Georgia secession convention "Defend yourselves; The enemy is at your door".
