Milledgeville | Hometown Georgia 

Born and raised in Milledgeville, Georgia. The nostalgia that I experienced watching this video is unreal. Those from here didn't lie - it's a very special town.

This was really good! Thank you for sharing!

Looks like a beautiful old fashioned Americana town from the years gone by. Another words- I would like to move there. Great place.

Very nicely done!

Born and raised here! still here… 😊1981

Lived here 2012-2016, some of the best years of my life, might move back.

Grandpa was born in Milledgeville Georgia like to visit one day

Milledgeville was then and is today the perfect place for the state capital. After the Civil War the railroads pushed the legislature to move the capital to Atlanta. Atlanta is not flat in any way, but instead tall hills and narrow valleys. I live farther north in Acworth, Cobb County (850,000) that has even more hills, but like Milledgeville, it has a nice lake. I would like to correct one common tale that General Sherman left Milledgeville in tact because he had a girl friend there. The truth is he was impressed with the people's attitude, and how they opened the city for the officers to birth. I think he felt there was not reason to burn the fine city because it was the capital, and he knew after the war the state would need to built a new legislature. He had no idea the capital would be moved. At the end of the century Atlanta had been rebuilt, and was holding an international agriculture fair. General Sherman was invited as a dignitary to see the changes made in the city. He said Atlanta was rebuilt better than it was before. Inconsistencies in the Civil War and afterwards.: When President/General Grant died, Southern General Joseph Johnson was one of his poll bearers. When General Sherman died, General Johnson was also one of his poll bearers, but this time he refused to wear his hat in the rain to honor the great man. He died a month later from pneumonia. General Robert E. Lee opened a home for old soldier in Virginia, and it was populated by soldiers from the north and south.

Yall are making me homesick

That's my home town ! Born and raised

Lived here from 2007 to Fall of 2015. Nice to see it again.

Thank you! Outstanding!

This is a good video but you have to be born and raised here to fully appreciate all the nostalgia and History of this beautiful Town.I'm a Lifetime resident and proud to say there's no other small Town I'd rather have been raised in.

Great entertaining and informative documentary. Thanks.

This is very well done! I’d never heard of Milledgeville before today but now I want to visit and research the mental health facility.

The baristra needs to learn not to touch her hair and then touch customer's drinks.

Milledgeville is a backwater from the worst region of georgia.
