Upcoming Meeting
Programs & Events
DECEMBER 18 - Our
presenter will be Susan Inman,
who will be speaking about the
owls of Georgia, the species
found here in Darien,
and the vision behind the Darien
Owl Trail.
As some of you may know, Darien has had owl boxes
in place since 2010, originally installed by local citizens who
wanted to encourage owls to remain within the community. While only
a few of those boxes remain today, this initiative presents an
opportunity for renewal. The goal is to expand and strengthen this
effort by creating a more robust owl trail—supporting wildlife
conservation while enhancing the eco-tourism Darien is uniquely
suited for.
We hope you will join us for an informative and
engaging presentation.

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.
