Nutwood in La Grange, Georgia is a building built in 1833. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.
Nutwood was built by Joel Dortch Newsom, who relocated to La Grange from Hancock County in 1830. The house stands on what was then the Newsom family plantation, east of La Grange. It was designed by architect Collin Rodgers and still bears the architect's signature medallion above the side entrance. The private Newsom family cemetery in nearby grove features imported marble tombstones.
