Built circa 1870, the Dodge Guest House is considered Dodge County's oldest residence. Located ten miles southeast of Eastman, it was built by William Dodge for executives of his Georgia Land and Lumber Company. Next door a "sister" house (demolished) served as the residence of Captain John C. Forsyth, the company agent. He was murdered there in 1890 at the behest of several conspirators against the Dodges.
