Our Past. Our Future.
The Northeast Georgia History Center is dedicated to preserving and sharing our regional history and being our community’s pathway to history education. Through our educational programs, community events, exhibits, and historic structures, we strive to be a leading resource for promoting a greater understanding of local, state, and national history.
Happy MLK Day!
We invite you to watch this virtual program with historian Glen Kyle in honor of MLK Day. Martin Luther King Jr. is celebrated for his leadership and legacy of activism during the Civil Rights Movement, but how did his faith and personal understanding of Christianity influence his activism? Join us in this free mini-documentary by the Northeast Georgia History Center to explore this facet of King’s life and work with special guest historian Ryan M. Jones of the National Civil Rights Museum.
