Pictures are perhaps the most evocative of records. For that reason they are listed first. These pictures were recovered from cardboard storage boxes, well-cared-for albums and dusty desk drawers from all over the South. More come in as people discover there is an effort underway to preserve a part of Old Muscogee’s history. To view the old photos, click on the link below.

No history of Muscogee would be complete without including the Southern States Lumber Company. The lumber company was Muscogee’s raison d'être. Here you will find additional pictures along with a history of the lumber company.

And finally, there’s the Old Muscogee Cemetery. It’s all that’s left. Here I have included a list of known graves and a history of those buried there where such a history is available.
