The small town of Zebulon, Georgia was originally founded in 1825 and named for Zebulon Pike, an American explorer. Today, it has a population of fewer than 1,200 people.
Centered around the red brick historic courthouse built in 1895, a number of structures are listed on the National Register of Historic Places, including the Old Zebulon Depot and the Franklin House. The films Murder and Coweta County, starring Andy Griffith and Johnny Cash, and Tank, starring James Garner, were filmed here in more recent years.
i would like to get more information about this photo and the story behind it. I see about this is Pike County, Zebulon GA and this is the old historic court house, Do you have any info on the mural itself what is Miss Georgia Pimentos and who painted the mural and when? Also photographer who took photo would be helpful,
Thanks
Michelle
Hi Michelle,
I am the photographer, but I don’t know any more about the mural. Sorry!

I was just wondering what building this is. My girls and I would like to ride by when we pass through town later this week. Thank you.
Can you give me any information about the Franklin House? My late husband’s grandfather, W.J. Franklin, owned and operated the Franklin general store and built the family house near downtown in 1890. My husband grew up in the house, and his parents lived there until the mid-1980s. I wonder if the house has been restored and this is the Franklin House you mentioned. I will very much appreciate any information you can provide.
Thank you!
