In the words of the exhibit, “with each frontiercapital established, Georgia’s governmental stage shifted steadily westward assuming the character of the people living on that border.” This traveling exhibit is just one part of a larger initiative of Milledgeville/Baldwin 2000+, acom mittee organized in the early "90s with the dream of establishing a permanent museum based on the works of the late Dr. James C. Bonner, noted Georgia historianfrom Milledgeville. The plan was todocu ment Milledgeville’s 68-year-history as the capital city of Georgia. The group conducted workshops to ex plore the possibilities and decided the best way to fully understand Milledgeville’s pivotal place in the state’s history was tostudy the evo lution of Georgia’searly capitals.
