Braselton honors past mayors with portraits
Braselton Mayor Bill Orr honored his predesessors and brought the town’s centennial celebration to an offical close with the unveiling of oil portraits of all five mayors at a recent reception.

We commissioned an accomplished portraitist, Neal Dunlap Hughs of Gainesville, for the oil paintings. It’s our pleasure to unveil these and share with the community,” said Mayor Orr.
The five mayors are William Henry Braselton, James Lewis Braselton, Henry Edward Braselton, Pat Graham and Bill Orr. The portraits hang in the Police & Municipal Court Building just outside the town council chambers at 5040 Highway 53.
