Victorian Maysville, Georgia welcomes you!

Pictured here in 1965, ninety-one-year-old Lillie Mae Haynes Ellison (1874-1967) sits in front of the Ellison home place. She was the second wife of James Monroe Ellison (1857-1932), grandson of Maysville pioneer Matthew Ellison.

Lillie Mae Ellison (1910-1996), their daughter, later donated the Ellison home place to Solid Rock Baptist Church, where she was a member. The church was able to move out of a rented building in downtown Maysville to a new facility built on the Ellison property on Gillsville Road. The house still stands today, although in much disrepair, at the corner of Deadwyler & Gillsville Roads.
