City of Pearson  Minnie Corbitt House |
The first residence in Pearson was built by S. J. Henderson circa 1873 on lot no. 1. Pearson was then the terminus of the Brunswick & Albany RailRoad.
This home successively became the home of prominent families in early Pearson History. In 1905 it became the residence of Martin S. Corbitt who was mayor 1905-1906 and Minnie F. Corbitt who was ordinary of Atkinson County 1928-1936.
In 1955, at the request of Mrs. Corbitt and her sons, the house was dedicated by the City of Pearson and the John Floyd Chapter, D A R to the perpetuation of the memory of south georgia pioneers and their way of life.
