"A lot of people ask if this was originally a church, but it was not. It was always built in memory of Mary Willis."

Hullinger's Musings

WATCH | The Mary Willis Library: Often mistaken for originally being a church, 'definitely a piece of history'

Jeff Hullinger explores the Mary Willis Library in Washington, Ga. Opened in 1889, it was the state’s first free library and continues to serve in that role today, housing a collection of books dating back to 1800. But its most astonishing feature is a beautiful Tiffany glass window featuring an image of the library’s namesake. (No wonder couples have gotten married in front of it!)

'Follow us to the attic for a trip backwards, 136 years'

Using an ancient key, opening an old wooden door, revealing secret steps, Jeff Hullinger and the Mary T. Willis Library Director ascend a creaky set of staircases cloaked in spider webs. Past stacks of 115-year-old National Geographic magazines and a 160-year-old hardback detailing the science of growing Georgia cotton, guess what's still there?
