Actually not much was burned in Eatonton or Milledgeville and we have lots of pre-civil war homes. They "housed" soldiers in the homes and didn't burn the down.
Hi Tammy, Love the history. The photo sure does look like it should a part of a University.
Good eye William, because the former capitol building is in fact on Georgia Military College campus. That building houses offices and a museum, but it makes for a beautiful campus. It's where my Donald went to college.
Good morning Tammy. This is a new fact for me and very interesting. Now what is the Georgia state song?
Tammy, That is a little piece of Georgia's history that I am glad to know. It would be nice to visit some day.
Good morning Tammy. Love history like what you have shared, it was definitely a new learning for me.
Milledgeville is one of the prettiest towns in the South. We drive through there sometimes, on our way to Augusta or to Charlotte.
The city was burned to the ground, and the surrounding countryside destroyed, during Lincoln and Sherman's "March to the Sea" in 1864.
