Taliaferro County Court House....by Reid Callaway
Thunderstorms At Sunset
Crawfordville Georgia Art

Storm chasing in Taliaferro County, Georgia one night produced this eye-catching late day storm coming in the direction of the County Courthouse! My truck is just out of the picture on the left down the street.

Taliaferro County Courthouse was built in 1902. Taliaferro is a county located in the U.S. state of Georgia. As of the 2010 census, the population was 1,717, making it the least populous county in Georgia and the second-least populous county east of the Mississippi River. The county seat is Crawfordville.

Taliaferro County was formed by an act of the Georgia Legislature meeting in Milledgeville on December 24, 1825. It was formed by taking portions of five other counties: Wilkes, Greene, Hancock, Oglethorpe, and Warren Counties.
The county was named for Colonel Benjamin Taliaferro of Virginia, who was an officer in the American Revolution.

The county is most famous for being the birthplace and home of Alexander H. Stephens, who served as a senator from Georgia in the antebellum south, the Vice President of the Confederate States of America, and the governor of Georgia until his death. A state park near his home in Crawfordville, Georgia bears his name.
Taliaferro County has not experienced the level of development that other parts of Georgia have experienced in recent decades. The county has steadily lost population over the years, even though the state overall has been one of the fastest-growing in the nation. This has given the county a "stuck in time" quality in spite of its access to Interstate 20.

Several Hollywood films have been shot in Taliaferro County. The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia, starring Kristy McNichol and Dennis Quaid was largely filmed in Crawfordville. Paris Trout, starring Dennis Hopper, was also primarily filmed in the county. More recently, the film Sweet Home Alabama, starring Reese Witherspoon, was filmed in the county seat, Crawfordville.
