The building is Queen Anne in style. It was designed by Bruce and Morgan, whose partnership produced at least eight Georgia courthouses. including several along U.S. 27.
The building now houses the local historical society. The present courthouse, a modern structure, is a half-mile east.
Buchanan is an exception to the general rule that the largest town in the county is also the county seat. When faced with the need to locate a courthouse in a newly established county, commissioners typically chose a central location accessible by horse and wagon in a half-day's time. While such places often grew to be the dominant trade centers in the county, some like Buchanan did not. Nonetheless, the little town retains much of
the charm long since remodeled away in larger communities.
Nevertheless, we sincerely want to do our best to build strong and enduring relationships with other family historians who are interested in genealogy. Our desire is to be known among our peers everywhere as the premier researchers in this area.
