- Description:
- [Detail of front hallway inside of] the Brown House (formerly known as Woodland Terrace), built prior to the Civil War in 1850 by Nathan Haynes. Other owners of the Sandersville, Georgia home included William Gainer Brown, who purchased the house in 1860, his wife Miriah Brown, and their descendants for more than 125 years. As the Confederate Army departed from the area, Union general William T. Sherman established his headquarters at the Brown House for an overnight stay on November 26, 1864. As Sherman departed, Union soldiers spared most of Sandersville, except for the courthouse, which was burned on November 27. Now the Brown House Museum, operated by the Washington County Historical Society. Variant names include: Brown House.
