Year Erected: 1954

Marker Text: The Medical College of Georgia, the oldest school of medicine in Georgia, was incorporated in 1828 as the Medical Academy of Georgia. Of the 24 original members of the Board of Trustees, five were from the City of Augusta and three of these were elected as the initial faculty: Dr. Milton Antony, the leader of the movement, and Drs. Lewis D. Ford and Ignatius P. Garvin. In 1833 the name was changed to Medical College of Georgia. The first classes on this site were held on January 2, 1913. The Medical College of Georgia moved from the original building, at Telfair and Sixth Streets, which remains as a historical landmark.

Re-erected in 2022 by the Georgia Historical Society
