The Art of Storytelling

The cast of the 1967 movie, How to Succeed in Business without Really Trying, performs Coffee Break.

There is something magical about the history of Tallassee. It begs to be shared. Artists and visionaries flock to the town to hear the stories and to discover new ways to tell the tales of the town. Folks buy up aging historic properties to restore them and, by doing so, bring excitement to Tallassee’s future as well as its rich past – one that dates back some 400 years. 

The Mt. Vernon Theatre, the House of Seven Gables, Hotel Talisi and the Tallassee Guest House all have charmed individuals or committees into giving them new lives. The community supports these endeavors because at the heart of Tallassee is a living, breathing love of storytelling.Â
