Historic Thomaston, GA

The old town of Thomaston, GA. Put together by my good friend, Gene Rudolph Roundman Milton.
Thomaston was incorporated on January 1, 1825,[6] and designated as the seat of Upson County. The town was named for General Jett Thomas, an Indian fighter in the War of 1812.[7] Jett is also credited with assisting in the construction of the state capitol at Milledgeville in 1805-7 and Franklin College on the campus of the University of Georgia in 1806.

Do you all have any information on older homes in the area? As far as who own them/built them?

These pictures are the BEST I've seen of Thomaston. I'm looking for information on the Weaver Mose co.
