Milledgeville Depot The recently rehabilitated Central of Georgia Railway depot at Milledgeville was built in 1879-80, fifteen years after Sherman's army torched a previous depot here. The building is now a health center for students at Georgia College & State University. The former Milledgeville Railway depot (above) still stands at Central State Hospital on the city's south side, in the Hardwick community. Now a museum with exhibits on the hospital's long history, it was the southern terminus of the 5-mile line connecting the hospital and town until abandonment in the 1960s. Milledgeville also had a depot on the north side of town. Built in the early twentieth century by the Georgia Railroad, it was destroyed by fire in 1995. The city of 18,672 is in middle Georgia. It is the county seat of Baldwin County (and was Georgia's capital city until 1868).   Georgia's Railroad History & Heritage. Copyright, Steve Storey.
