Upcoming Meeting Programs   (from Paul Medders - LAHS Programs Director)

APRIL - Eric Teal "Growing up on Sapelo"
You are invited to welcome and enjoy our own LAHS Board member and friend Eric Teal as he recounts his childhood on Sapelo Island as it intertwines with his father's legacy as a researcher and scientist on the Island. 
 
Eric P. Teal was born in Boston, Massachusetts, in 1955, where his father got his Ph.D. from Harvard. Immediately thereafter, the family moved to Sapelo for the next four years, where Eric's father conducted significant research on the salt marshes there. Eric's sister was born in Brunswick in 1959. They then moved to Halifax, Nova Scotia, where his father worked at Dalhousie University. After two years, the family moved to Woods Hole, Massachusetts, where they lived for many decades. Eric had a career in federal financial management, retiring from Washington, DC, in 2014. He subsequently moved back to McIntosh County as an adult, where he still lives. The rest of the family remains in the south coast of Massachusetts.

About the Lower Altamaha Historical Society:         

The mission of the Lower Altamaha Historic Society is to preserve and disseminate the history of McIntosh County. One of the primary missions of the Lower Altamaha Historical Society from its inception was, and continues to be, the support of the Fort King George State Historic Site near Darien, scene of the earliest English fortification in Georgia. LAHS, utilizing grant funds provided by the City of Darien, has expedited the preparation and installation of several state historic markers in the community, the most recent being the marker to the Enslaved at Butler Island in 2019.
