Heritage Corner

The Heritage Corner is a collection of five historic homes in Columbus, Georgia, located in a one block section. The area is located at the corner of Seventh Street and Broadway and the homes celebrate the history of the town. The homes were painstakingly restored over the course of several years. The area was designated part of the Columbus Historic District in 1988 and features homes that is representative of the state's history. Included in the collection is the Pemberton House, known as the inventor of Coca-Cola. The collection also features a log cabin, the Woodruff Farm House, the Peters-Langdon House and 700 Broadway. The homes offer a look into the growth of the town of Columbus, beginning with a frontier settlement, through to its rise as a cosmopolitan city. The log cabin structure was originally ten miles from the corner, but was moved to help complete the collection of homes and to illustrate what life was like for the early settlers in the area. Heritage Corner is located in the center of the historic district and is directly across the street from Heritage Park. Visitors can tour the homes Wednesday through Saturday at 2 p and the cost is $5 for adults and $1 for students.
