Remains Found at Baldwin Hall

The University of Georgia’s Baldwin Hall expansion project has a grave problem—literally.
Work at the construction site has been suspended after 27 grave sites were discovered. The graves are believed to be a part of Old Athens Cemetery, also known as Jackson Street Cemetery, which was the official city cemetery for most of the 1800s. It was originally a part of UGA’s land grant and was deeded back to the university in 2004.
