Meetings & Events
Mark your
calendars: Nov. 7 Darien Fall Festival
The Darien
Fall Festival is just around the corner. We want to have a
presence at this event again this year and we need your help.
LAHS will have a tent and exhibits which gives us the
opportunity to have more people get to know about the great
programs and work which we do, and become members themselves.
We need volunteers to help greet folks who come by our tent.
This year Charlie Ouzts is leading the LAHS Fall Festival
committee and are asking for volunteers to fill four timeslots

slots are: 10:00-11:30,

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.
