National Register news
Jackson Street Cemetery
The Jackson Street Cemetery (also called Old Athens Cemetery), located on the University of Georgia campus in Clarke County, was listed in the National Register of Historic Places on October 2, 2009. The cemetery is sited on 2.5 acres of land within the original 633-acre tract deeded to the university by John Milledge in 1803. The property for the cemetery was donated to the city of Athens by the University's Board of Trustees circa 1810 for use as a public cemetery. It was used by white residents of Athens and includes graves of farmers, prominent citizens, university students and faculty, and soldiers from the Revolutionary and Civil wars. By 1848 the city announced that no new burials would be allowed due to the crowded conditions of

the cemetery. Although burials continued into the 1890s, Jackson Street Cemetery's time as the official city cemetery ended in September 1855 with the opening of nearby Oconee Hill Cemetery.
During the 20th century, university buildings were constructed on either side of the cemetery, and by the 1970s, the cemetery was deteriorating due to lack of maintenance, erosion, and vandalism. The Friends of the Old Athens Cemetery took over maintenance from 1983 through 2004, when the responsibility was turned over to the university with a small endowment. The university's grounds department has an ongoing maintenance and preservation plan that includes a boundary survey, marker recordation and assessment, GIS mapping of marked and unmarked burials, and stabilization work. As part of the plan in 2007, students from the university's Department of Anthropology and Archaeology began the process of locating unmarked burials and historic features through the use of ground-penetrating radar.
Milledge Avenue Historic District Boundary Increase

Submit your listings to: helen.talley-mcrae@dnr. state.ga.us.

The Milledge Avenue Historic District Boundary Increase was listed in the National Register on September 24, 2009. This boundary increase adds one house, located on West Rutherford Street, which was inadvertently left out of the National Register nomination of the Milledge Avenue Historic District (Clarke County) in 1985.
In 1903 Oliver Arnold, a prominent Athens businessman and mayor from 1924 to 1925, purchased an 11-acre parcel on Milledge Avenue and the following year built a large, Queen Anne-style house for his family that fronted Milledge Avenue. In 1920 Arnold subdivided the parcel and built a smaller house, the Oliver Hazzard and Aurie Baynes Arnold House, fronting West Rutherford Street. An excellent example of an early 20th century Craftsman-style bungalow, the house remained in the Arnold family until 1980. The building should have been included in the original historic district nomination because it was built during the district's period of significance on Arnold family land that fronted Milledge Avenue. The historic district consists of the intact residential portion of Milledge Avenue,

a principal street in Athens since the early 1830s.
