Expansion of Historic University of Georgia

In 1785 the University of Georgia was founded in Athens, Georiga. Our exhibition focuses on the expansion of the university's campus alongside the most prominent streets in Athens, Broad and Milledge. We will also focus on the renovation of Old College, as student population grew and the need for renovation and improvement increased. Subsequent to this development, the university now reports 35,000 enrolled students and supports a prominent entertainment scene in the downtown area.
