City Spotlight

Milledgeville, located in GMA's District 6, was founded in 1803 and serves as one of Georgia's oldest cities and once served as Georgia's state capital until 1868. Milledgeville is rich with history and plenty to explore.

Fun Fact: The most notable of its history is being home to the Old Governor's Mansion. This building housed eight of Georgia's governors from 1839 to 1868 and played a great role in the Civil War and Reconstruction period.
