The Elisha Winn House in Gwinnett County

Elisha Winn built it in 1812 when he moved to what was then Jackson County. Gwinnett County was created in 1818 from part of Jackson County and ceded land from the Cherokee and Creek Indians. The first county elections and Inferior Court Sessions were held in the house and his barn was where the Superior Court met. He was also a state representative and state senator before he died in 1842.
