Febuary 19 We're excited to invite you to an upcoming presentation on Feb 19, 7 pm at Ft King George- featuring Sam Gennawey. Sam is an author, historian, and endlessly curious storyteller with a career that spans music, planning, and theme park history.

Sam's path is anything but ordinary. He has been a record store owner, president of an independent record label, a promotions professional at a major record label, an urban planner, a planning historian, and a public participation expert. Along the way, he developed a deep fascination with Disney and Universal theme parks, leading him to write four books exploring their design, history, and cultural impact.

Currently, Sam is living the van life as a nomad, traveling across the United States and visiting sites throughout the National Park System—bringing a unique, on-the-ground perspective to his work and storytelling.

In this presentation, Sam will share insights drawn from his diverse career, his writing, and his ongoing travels, offering a thoughtful and engaging look at the intersections of place, culture, and experience.

We hope you'’ll join us for what promises to be a fascinating and inspiring conversation.

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.
