Heritage Hall:
Blood stain on fireplace mantel that won't go away. child heard crying....Tours are given at Heritage hall daily. Madison, Georgia is known for many haunted houses.
This Greek Revival home was built in 1811 by Dr. William Johnston, a prominent physician in Madison. Heritage Hall is unique in that it is the only home in town with four columns flanked by two square piers. The same design feature is incorporated on the front doorway.
An integral part of Madison's Historic District, Heritage Hall is noted for "window etchings" that appear in seven of the eight rooms. These were done by daughters and granddaughters of Dr. Elijah Evans Jones, the second owner and longest resident of the home. Period furnishings and original oil paintings provide an elegant setting for public and private functions.
The house was originally constructed some 200 feet from its current site and moved in 1908 when the owner at that time, Steve Turnell, sold a portion of the four-acre in-town estate to the Methodists for their new sanctuary. He opened the house as the Traveler's Inn in July 1923. Mrs. Fletcher Manley was the final resident owner of the house and her granddaughter, Sue Reid Law, donated it to The Morgan County Historical Society, Inc. in 1977 in honor of her grandmother.
Heritage Hall is operated and maintained by The Morgan County Historical Society, Inc.
Hours of operation are Monday through Saturday, 10am until 4:30pm. Sunday from 1:30 until 4:30pm. It is closed occasionally for special events.

The Rogers House
Built by Reuben Rogers in 1809-1810, the house is a fine example of Piedmont Plain style architecture seen throughout the rural southern United States. Designed as a two-over-two style, the back shed portion most likely was added around 1820.
The house pre-dates the Morgan County Courthouse by almost one hundred years.
Rose Cottage
Adeline Rose (a woman who was born into slavery) built her house in 1891. She earned her living by taking in washing and ironing at 50 cents a load. Most of her early work was done for the boarders of the Hardy House, which was owned by the mother of the famous comedian Oliver Hardy.
Hours of operation are Monday through Saturday from 10am to 4:30pm, Sunday 1:30pm to 4:30pm.
