Fayette County Historical Society

The organization's archive includes information about the county, cities, and institutions.

While visiting the Historical Society of Fayette, don't hesitate to step back and enjoy one of the best-known landmarks of this county: the Greek Revival antebellum house. It was built in 1855 by the Holiday family but then used to be the property of different families. It also shares an association with several well-known local historical figures, such as Margaret Mitchell, Dr. Crawford Williamson Long, and former Governor Dorsey.
