Madison, GA (Morgan County)
Madison is an exceptional community with a wealth of 19th century architecture that was possible because of the rich cotton economy, the cultured town-life of the planters, and the building of the third oldest railroad in the United States, the Georgia Railroad, through Madison. Few towns founded in early 19th century Georgia have been able to preserve so much and had so much to offer in the first place. (1)
A prominent feature in Madison’s downtown square and beloved filming location when Y’allywood comes to town, Morgan County Courthouse is open to visitors when court is not in session.
This impressive Neoclassical Revival style building was originally constructed in 1905 by J.W. Golucke and Company to replace the County’s previous courthouses destroyed by fire.
Today, the building houses the magistrate, probate, and superior court. It has been used as background in a number of television and film projects, including Goosebumps, I’ll Fly Away, Rob Zombie’s Halloween II, Guardians of the Galaxy: Vol. 2 and American Made, starring Tom Cruise. (2)
