Sorrel Weed HouseThe Sorrel-Weed House has a past filled with excitement and intrigue. Designed by Charles Clusky in 1835, it was finally completed 1840. It was the first house built at Madison Square and was the family home of Francis Sorrel and General Gilbert Mosley Sorrel, who was the youngest General in the Confederate States. The Greek Revival home is a remarkable architectural sight, and one of the first homes in Georgia to be made a state landmark. Throughout its over a century of existence, many of the country’s most prestigious people are said to have visited, including General Robert E. Lee. Today, it is believed that the home is haunted. Guests reported hearing calls for help from spirits while touring the magnificent mansion.  In October 2005, the home was featured on the TV show Ghost Hunters. No one is exactly sure who haunts the house, but some believe the ghosts could be a former slave who died at the house, or Francis Sorrel's wife who killed herself by jumping from the second floor porch.
