presentation will offer a look back at the storm’s impact on our
coastal communities and the people who lived through it, bringing an
important piece of our local history to life.

Nov. 7 Darien Fall Festival
The Darien Fall Festival occurred
on schedule. We wanted to have a
presence at this event again this year and we appreciate your help.
LAHS had a tent and exhibits set up which gave us the
opportunity to have more people get to know about the great
programs and the work which we do, and become members themselves.
This year Charlie Ouzts was leading the LAHS Fall Festival
committee
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.
