My Dad worked for Trogdon Furniture Company in Toccoa, GA for many years (in the mid 1950s on into the 1960s). I currently have a three piece dining room set that my Dad helped make(table with six chairs, buffet, and china cabinet) and am trying to determine its value and was able to find the company online but have not been able to find any actual furniture.

I'm Brenda Trogdon and I really don't remember the stories that was told to me but I think I can ask my uncle who was raised in that area and see what we come up with if you would like

Good to see a little bit of something about this company. The strangest thing is that I live in Winder Georgia not too far from Toccoa and all of my life I remember visiting my grandparents in Jacksonville Florida. She had this beautiful secretary desk that I think was the original Green. I think before Jacksonville Florida they lived in LaGrange Georgia. I have since inherited their furniture and there was a sticker on the back. It says the piece was made by Spartan Furniture Company a division of Trogdon furniture Company. It was shipped to another company Rhodes-Perdue furniture company in LaGrange and they bought it from there. Amazing after all these years it's made it almost all the way back to its original home. I wish I could post a picture. Thank you, Michael Bostic

My father worked for Trogdon Furniture from 1947 until it closed in 1985. He started out in the machine shop and worked his way up to Maintenance Supervisor. The company was started by Mr. Ray Trogdon (1901-1971) in the late 1920s. Upon his death, the company passed to his son, George Curtis Trogdon (1944-2015).
