Midway Historic District

Midway Historic District is a historic area in Georgia containing a church, cemetery, museum, and structures spread across approximately 20 acres. The district centers on Old Sunbury Road near the intersection with U.S. 17 and Martin Road.

The area was established during the colonial period and became significant during the American Revolution. British forces destroyed the original church building, which the community later reconstructed.

The cemetery serves as a resting place for people who shaped the early United States, and visitors can walk among graves of those who held leadership positions in their time. Walking through the grounds offers a sense of connection to the lives and choices of earlier generations.

The museum is housed in a reconstructed 18th-century cottage and provides context about the area's past. Comfortable shoes are helpful for walking between the various buildings and the cemetery grounds.

A monument on the grounds honors two Continental Army generals whose military decisions shaped the region during the Revolutionary War. This tribute shows the depth of their influence on the community's history.
