The Georgia Military Institute was founded in Marietta in 1851 to educate new engineers and teachers for the state. Many GMI students were called to active duty during the Civil War, and the school was burned by Union troops in 1864. It never reopened. Sketch by Captain D. R. Brown of the 20th Connecticut.
