Vanishing Madison County

wpe5B.jpg (2625 bytes)

Vanishing Madison County is a collection of over 500 pre-1950 photographs and images of historic Madison County and its citizens.   A joint effort of the Madison County Heritage Foundation and the Madison County Library, the project's goal is to preserve the pictorial history of the county, and the oral history attached to those images, for current and future generations to learn from and enjoy.  A portion of the collection is currently available at the Madison County Library.  Ultimately, the entire collection will be available to the public via the internet.

A sampling of photographs from the Vanishing Madison County collection has been made available here at the Madison County GAGenWeb project.
