The Andersonville Historic Guild was formed in 1973 with the objective of restoring the town to a Civil War Villege. To replace buildings that have been either razed or burned down in past years or to save nearby buildings from oblivion, structures have been moved into Andersonville and restored. The Depot/Welcome Station, log church, country store as well as the farm buildings in the park area. The careful restoration of these buildings represnets the guild's efforts to turn back the clock.
