Founder's Hall

Founder's Hall traces the settling and development
of the area from the early 19th Century. This exhibit contains a
re-creation of the first courthouse in Waycross, an early schoolroom
and artifacts relating to a turn of the century utopian community
named Ruskin.
In addition, visitors will see sections of
"Hilltop," the first house built in Waycross. Included are parts of
the front porch, staircase and parlor which have been decorated with
antique furniture and period artifacts to look as it did in 1871.
