Rare and extremely collectible. On Thursday, May 3, creator of the Cabbage Patch Kids® Xavier Roberts reached a new milestone with the official groundbreaking for a new "BabyLand General Hospital," home of the world famous Cabbage Patch Kids. Located off Hulsey Road in Cleveland, Georgia, surrounded by a panoramic view of the beautiful Appalachian Mountains, the new BabyLand General will have the look of a graceful, columned Southern Style Home. Granite-faced, Mt. Yonah, which plays a prominent role in the history of the Cabbage Patch Kids, will be clearly visible from the new site.Following a brief message from Cleveland Mayor Don Stanley, Attorney General Johnny Chattin from the V Georgia Tribe of the Eastern Band of the Cherokee Nation was invited to honor the rich Native American heritage of the area by performing a sacred ceremonial ground blessing for the protection and guidance of our future generations of children. Family, friends, associates and a number of Cabbage Patch Kid Collectors joined Xavier as he launched this exciting new chapter in the history of the 30 year old phenomenon. Construction of a 70,000 square foot building on 96 acres will begin immediately with anticipated completion in time to celebrate the 25th Anniversary of the Cabbage Patch Kids licensing program in 2008. The new structure will include retail space, offices, a historical archive of the Cabbage Patch Kids as well as the Southern Appalachian region.
