MADISON, GEORGIA: The Morgan County Landmarks Society (see the Morgan County Landmarks Society YouTube Video) will be scanning your historic photographs this Sunday afternoon, January 18, from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. at the Barnett Parish House next to the Episcopal Church of the Advent in Madison, at the corner of Academy and Kolb Streets.
“We are excited and proud to be carrying on the vision of our founder Miss Carroll Hart,” says Landmarks President Richard A. Simpson. “As the director of The Georgia State Archives she created the ‘Vanishing Georgia’ program to copy, document and save historic photos of life in Georgia, through which current and future citizens can revisit the past.”
“Our focus is Morgan County,” Simpson continues. “We would like photographs about 50 years old or older, that show people, places, events or artifacts of Morgan County. All old photos, with subjects ranging from the grand to the everyday are a valuable record of our history and deserve to be preserved.”

I have a number of old photographs that might be of interest to you and will gladly email them to you should you have interest.
Some of them are: 1) Photograph of Madison Branch Snelling, Justice of the Inferior Court, Morgan Co. GA. 2) Photograph of the Madiosn Branch Snellings House (built 1810) as it was being taken down. 3) Photograph of the William Augustus Tolar House (photo about the time of the Civil War (located where the Federal Housing Project is now)… and a number of other photographs.
