Upcoming Meetings

*March 21  This month's program will feature guest speaker Paul Downs with the Richmond Hill History Museum. The Museum is housed in the Ford Kindergarten building built in 1940 by Henry Ford as a kindergarten to serve the children of Ways Station and Richmond Hill. The campus also includes Carpenter's Barber Shop - an iconic community business for more than fifty years. The museum explores the area's history from the Colonial, Revolutionary, and Civil War eras to the Ford era when Henry and Clara Ford made their winter home in Richmond Hill. Paul will share an overview of how the Museum serves the community and interprets the history of Bryan County. 
 
The program starts at 7 p.m. in the Fort King George auditorium at 302 McIntosh Rd. Light refreshments will be served. We're looking forward to seeing you there!

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.
