Henderson. Legacy On the approximate site of Hart's frontier cabin along River Road in Elbert County, the Daughters of the American Revolution erected a replica cabin in the early 20th century. They used chimney stones recovered from the site of the original cabin, which had stood on the crest of a large hill overlooking Wahachee Creek. Georgians have memorialized Nancy Hart in several place names: Hart County, organized to the north of Elbert County, was named for her, as was its county seat, Hartwell. During the American Civil War (1861–1865), a group of women in LaGrange, Georgia founded an all-female militia company, which they named the Nancy Harts, to defend the town from the Union Army. Most of the men of fighting age had been drawn off to war. In the 20th century, nearby Lake Hartwell and Hartwell Dam, Hart State Park, and the Nancy Hart Highway (Georgia Route 77) commemorate the legendary woman. In 1997 Hart was inducted into Georgia Women of Achievement. The Milledgeville, Georgia chapter of the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution was renamed in honor of Nancy Hart.
