The Nutwood home was built by Joel Dortch Newsom, who relocated to LaGrange from Hancock County in 1830. The house stands on what was then the Newsom family plantation, east of LaGrange. It was designed by architect Collin Rodgers and still bears the architect's signature medallion above the side entrance.[2] The private Newsom family cemetery in nearby grove features imported marble tombstones.[3]
The home is a private residence and is not open to the public, however, Nutwood Winery and its vineyards were built next door to the home in 2019 and are open to the public Thursday-Saturday.
