Description
I captured this view of the historic Morgan County Court House in Madison, Georgia near Lake Oconee on a cloudy Sunday afternoon.
Madison was founded in 1807 as seat of the newly-formed Morgan County. The community was named for President James Madison.
While many believe that Sherman spared the town because it was too beautiful to burn during his March to The Sea, the truth is that Madison was home to pro-Union Senator Joshua Hill. Hill had ties with General Sherman's brother at West Point, so his sparing the town was more political than appreciation of its beauty. Currently, Madison has one of the largest historic districts in the state of Georgia, and tourists from all over the world come to marvel at the antebellum architecture of the homes. Madison is the home of Southern Cross Guest Ranch, the only dude ranch in Georgia
