About Georgia's Old Capital Heritage Center at The Depot

Run by an independent nonprofit, this Milledgeville center aims to research, explain, and protect the history and arts of Milledgeville, Baldwin County, and the Oconee River basin. Its exhibits trace regional history from very early prehistoric times through the early twentieth century. The center also houses the Central State Hospital Museum, which opened in the west wing of The Depot in 2024 and includes a photo gallery. Its work relies on memberships, donations, fundraisers, and grants rather than fixed public funding.
