Originally constructed 200 feet from its current location in Madison, the home was moved in 1909 when the owner at the time, Mr. Stephen Turnell, sold a portion of the home\'s acreage for the construction of a new Methodist church. Heritage Hall was a private residence until 1977. The last private owner was Mrs. Sue Reid Walton Manley, known as \\"Madison\'s First Lady\\" for her gracious financial support of churches, education, the city and numerous weddings, receptions and parties hosted at the home. During the holiday season, visitors will be delighted to discover an exquisite array of period furnishings and antique treasures dressed in Yuletide finery. #antebellumtrail #madisonga #exploregeorgia #heritagehall #greekrevival #southernhome #southernchristmas")
