Help us celebrate the 125th Birthday of The Magnolia Plantation-Baird Mansion! Every month, beginning May 1, 2010, we will give away a free night stay at the Magnolia Plantation Bed and Breakfast Inn. You will have fifteen days (starting with the first of each month) to email us (info@magnoliabnb.com) and tell us why you deserve a complimentary night away as our guest! We will announce the winner on the 16th of each month on our Facebook page and the winner will receive a personal e-mail.
The Night Away Contest is not the only way we are celebrating. Anyone who turns 125 years old deserves to celebrate for an Entire Year! Watch our blog and Facebook page for more monthly celebrations.

Yes, I know it is a line from The Doobie Brothers but this line keeps knocking around in my head. I love running specials and have had some pretty sucussful ones in the past year. Why don’t you all e-mail me and tell me what your favorite special is….even if you saw the special somewhere else. I’ll look them over and run a few this summer in time for everyone to get away from the crowds and head to the springs.

Come take a walk through the Historic Duck Pond District neighborhood and tour a few personal homes! Stay at Magnolia Plantation and walk just a few blocks to the Thomas Center for the Spring Promenade Tour of Homes. There are seven beautifully restored historic homes on the tour. While walking along the streets of the Duck Pond neighborhood you will have a chance to imagine what the streets of Gainesville were like back in the early 1900’s. You will also learn the history of the homes and the owners. If you missed the Holiday Homes Tour in December, this is your chance to see a personal side of Gainesville.
There are two tours:
Candlelight Tour Friday, March 5th at 6pm ($15)
Daylight Tour Saturday, March 6th from 10-4 ($10)
Please contact us if you would like to make reservations or if you need more information. Please check out this link for more information on the tour:
