The Old Market is a historic open-air structure in the middle of Louisville, Georgia. It was built around 1795 during the period when this town was the capital of Georgia. It was entered into the National Register of Historic Places on February 17, 1978. The structure was built as a public market but was also sometimes used as a slave market. Amid the George Floyd protests in 2020, the city council of Louisville voted to have the structure removed from the town.
