Georgia Military College was created in 1879 for the purpose of "...educating young men and women in an environment which fosters the qualities of good citizenship...." The majestic campus has also housed and occupied the Old State Capitol Building since its founding.

Circa 1807, the Old Capitol is considered the first example of Gothic architecture in a public building in the United States. It served as the seat of government for the State of Georgia from 1807 to 1868, and in its legislative chambers the Secession Convention was held in 1861. Since 1879, Georgia Military College has occupied the historic site. The building underwent a $10 million renovation in 2000. Tours of the legislative chambers are included on the Historic Trolley Tour.

Also in the heart of downtown you will find Georgia College and State University, the public liberal arts college of GA. Founded in 1889 as a college for women, the school thrived for 78 years before becoming co-educational
