Community Activities

The addition of this web coverage was reviewed and approved by the Board of Directors at their meeting on February 21, 2008.

The Lower Altamaha Historical Society is involved in a number of community history related activities in the McIntosh County area. The club is also in partnership with other organizations to promote the preservation of the area's historical background.
These activities and associations will be included in this web area as data is provided.

 
 

Fort King George

The Lower Altamaha Historical Society has a close relationship with the Fort King George staff and support their activities. LAHS meets at the Fort King George conference room each month and in exchange supports the Fort's operation with needed donations of equipment and funding.
 

Chamber of Commerce

The Welcome Center is a good partner.  LAHS pamphlets containing info on the club and the list of books for sale are kept at the Center. The Center also tells newcomers about our organization and gives them info on when and where we meet.  The Center's staff often call with questions and also refer calls to LAHS from the visitors themselves.  There is a Cemetery Book at the Center as well, which is used as a resource when visitors stop by and have questions about where their ancestors are buried. 

 

Historical Markers

LAHS has co-sponsored several Historical Markers located in McIntosh County which recognize some of the major locations of historical significant in the history of the region.
