Photo Gallery: Old Gaissert Homeplace

Among the interesting sites in the county is the Orr-Williamson-Gaissert Homeplace (also known as the Old Gaissert Homeplace, the Williamson Place, or the Mary Brook Farm), northeast of Williamson. The site won a 2002 Georgia Centennial Farm Award, which honors families and farms for preserving their historic properties. Oak Hill Cemetery, part of Griffin's original city plan, is the burial site of many historical figures associated with Spalding County.
