Georgia's Old Capital Museum at The Depot Fundraising Video
Over the past decade, the south side of Baldwin County has experienced an unprecedented economic downturn with the decentralization of services and loss of jobs at Central State Hospital. The Depot, along with other redevelopment projects, brings focus to the campus that will result in a much-needed economic opportunity. The Depot will provide after-school programs, theatrical performances, and a food service to draw people to the campus. The Depot is a truly wonderful opportunity to create a cultural center that preserves the history and revitalizes the economy of Central Georgia.

Central State Lunatic Asylum, Milledgeville, GA
Hello everyone! I am pleased to bring you a video that I have contemplated on presenting for quite a while. Welcome to Central State Hospital or Asylum. Opening its doors in 1842, it was the first of its kind in the United States to offer services for those suffering with Epilepsy, Mental Retardation, and Tuberculosis-which in the following years many followed in its footsteps. Having quite an ominous history, I have regarded this place to be highly interesting. However, Matt and I did come on a day when everything happened to be closed up. That's right, it's not your average abandoned asylum like you will find in so many other states. It is in fact still inhabited, not by the insane, but by government employees, correctional officers and those who are incarcerated in the prison system. And that is the reason why you will find no videos that reveal the inside of these mysterious buildings. The site does offer a museum of sorts that apparently offers tours. So on that note I will be returning at a later date to take a tour of the area, so be expecting an additional video to surface in the near future. My apologies for posting such a long video, but there were just so many interesting things to film that I kind of went overboard again, which is what I'm best at doing. So if it's too long to watch in one sitting then simply subscribe to my channel and come back at a later time to view the rest of it, YouTube will even save the point at which you were watching it!
VERIFY: Is Milledgeville really the only city in the US designed to be a capital city?
A post by Georgia's Old Capital Museum at the Depot has been getting a lot of attention on social media. The post says, Did you know that Milledgeville is the only city in the U.S., with the exception of Washington D.C., actually designed to be a capital city? So we set out to VERIFY if this is true.
Old Georgia Governor's Mansion in Milledgeville - Virtual Reality Tour (3D)
Georgia's Old Governor's Mansion was built in 1839. From 1839 to 1868, the Mansion served as Georgia's executive mansion. During the Civil War General William Sherman's March to the Sea, he claimed the Mansion as a prize and spent the night there.
The Governor's Mansion has been university property since 1889, and in 1973 the Governor's Mansion was established as a historic landmark. In the late 1990's, Georgia College & State University started the restoration of the Governor's Mansion. The Governor's Mansion is an accredited museum of the American Alliance of Museums and affiliated Smithsonian Institute.
Thank you Emma Smith for the tour.

Capitol Hauntings Tours
Sitting majestically atop Albany's State Street hill, the New York State Capitol has served as the seat of government for New York since the 1880s. The building is a marvel of late 19th century architectural grandeur. Under the direction of five architects, the Capitol was built by hand of solid masonry over a period of 32 years. By 1899 its cost had exceeded twenty-five million dollars. Throughout the years, the building has collected a number of ghastly tales and haunts. Hear them all and experience your own this October with a Capitol Hauntings Tour.
