Midway Museum

Established by South Carolina Calvinists of English and Scottish extraction in 1752, the small settlement of Midway became 'the cradle of the Revolutionary spirit in Georgia.' Two of Georgia's three signers of the Declaration of Independence, Lyman Hall and Button Gwinnett, were sons of Midway, as were four Revolutionary Governors of the young state. The Midway Museum is the only colonial museum in Georgia, and it contains documents of the Midway Society from the colonial period.
