Upcoming Meeting
Programs
OCTOBER 16 - Our next meeting will be held on
Thursday, October 16, at 7:00 PM, where we will learn about
a group that is inspired to establish a Maritime Education
Center here in Darien. The vision for this regional center
is to celebrate and support the many ways our proximity to the
Altamaha River and the Atlantic Ocean has shaped our history,
strengthened our economy, and enriched scientific understanding of
this remarkable ecosystem.
Join us on October 16 to hear more about this inspiring project
and to share your thoughts as the community helps bring this vision
to life.

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.
