OHU50K NOTES

The heavenly setting is one I thought I would only see in my dreams.

In the first decades of the nineteenth century men of financial means arrived in Morgan County, Georgia, purchased thousands of acres, planted them and made sizable fortunes. Contrary to the popular notion of the antebellum South, however, there were many more modestly sized farms around Madison than there were plantations. The hard working farmers constructed well-crafted, simple, durable houses like our featured home. These are now called the plantation plain style, not to be confused with plantation style.
