On-Site Amenities
Barnhardt Hall is especially spacious with its 14-foot ceilings and oversized rooms. Because it was originally constructed as an Army barrack, this property not only has unique architecture but also provides the visitor with a tremendous sense of history.
Barnhardt Hall is located on the north end of Barnhardt Circle which encircles the Post's original parade field. The United States Army Post of Fort Ogethorpe, Georgia, was established in 1902. The permanent buildings were substantially complete by 1904. The Sunday afternoon Polo matches were famous throughout southeastern Tennessee and northwestern Georgia.
“The 20's and 30's saw Fort Oglethorpe become one of the elite Army Posts in the nation. The elegance of its architecture, from the Classic Renaissance of the original construction to the later Neo-Classic, lent an air of charming unity. While the Sixth Cavalry became the darling of society's debutantes, their duties were as strict as during the war years and protocol was always adhered to. One can almost picture nervous Second Lieutenants and their brides paying calls on the Post Commander, the Regimental Commander, the Field Grade Officers, and so on down the line or around the Circle. Sunday afternoon Polo matches were famous throughout southeast Tennessee and northwest Georgia. They comprise "THE Fort Oglethorpe" memory of most people who lived in these areas back then. As a matter of interest, most people you talk with around here still refer to the Parade Ground as "The Polo Field." Equally as notable were the horse shows on the Parade Ground. The Drill Team, Mounted Band, and the Mounted Guard were stirring sights on Parade.”
