The Bacon-Fraser House is a historic home in Hinesville, Georgia in Liberty County, Georgia, built in 1839, two years after Hinesville was founded. It is a two-story Plantation Plain style house with weatherboard sides. The house is raised and rests on Savannah brick piers. A rear shed room and ell addition was added in 1979, built on foundations that are believed to have been original to rear rooms that were removed in 1923.^[2]

During the American Civil War, General Sherman's army occupied the plantation in 1864, pillaged it, and burned the outbuildings.^[3]

In 1980, Savannah Landscape Architect Clermont Huger Lee designed a period appropriate planting plan for residence area.^[4] Coincidentally, Lee's niece married a descendant of the Bacon-Fraser's.

The site was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.^[1] It is the only building surviving from Hinesville's early settlement period.^[2] The house is far back from Court Street but there is a historical marker near the street.
