- Description:
- Postcard (color, divided back, 3 1/2 x 5 1/2 inches) showing a public market structure where the human trafficking of enslaved African Americans took place. The Market was built around 1795 during the period when this town was the capital of Georgia. It was entered into the National Register of Historic Places on February 17, 1978. In 2020, the city council of Louisville voted to have the structure removed from the town. Text on reverse: "Slave Market, Louisville, Georgia The Old Market House, erected in 1758, built of great oaken timbers still stands intact in the center of town. The bell that rang out the independence of the 13 colonies is still hanging in the tower and was stolen by Pirates in New Orleans and sold in Savannah." Color by Tom Hubbard.
