Georgia’s Old Capital Heritage Center strives to help people understand and appreciate the value of historic preservation. Whether our historic buildings, places, or stories, these are all irreplaceable and continue to inform modern life in Milledgeville.

CURRENT EXHIBITION:

'Fast Fading' - A History of Central State Hospital

Fast Fading, a History of Central State Hospital is the first exhibit to open at our new location on the old Central State Hospital campus. Curator and local photographer Jessica Whitehead demonstrates a unique ability to combine history – the collection of pictures, artifacts, equipment, personal items, client art, and a CSH Documentary- with place. The exhibit is now also home to Seeking Asylum photography exhibit.

Seeking Asylum began with a focus on capturing the decaying buildings of what was once the world’s largest insane asylum. These photos serve as a poignant and artistic representation of the state of mental health treatment in this country. Seeking Asylum is proud to share a
home with Fast Fading, a History of Central State Hospital.

Seeking Asylum LLC, owned by award-winning photographer, Jessica Whitehead, features a multifaceted array of photographs available for
viewing on her website.
