HELP GROW THE JOHNS CREEK HISTORY ARCHIVES

We are actively collecting items to add to our history archives and research library for Johns Creek.

If you have items or documents that will help record or tell the stories of life in the Johns Creek area during earlier times, please let us know. This could include photographs, documents, scrapbooks, family letters, and other records of historic value. While we always prefer original materials, we are also able to digitize documents and photos, then return them to their owners.

Historic objects can also be donated or we can photograph them for the archives records, if you want to retain the object.

Please contact us at info@johnscreekhistory.org



Johns Creek History

Thanks to all who attended our June 23rd Historical Society Meeting

JOHN ADAMS, FOUNDING FATHER

On June 23rd, in honor of "America 250", and in partnership with the Spruill Oaks Library, our program featured reenactor Terry Allee, who played the role of Founding Father John Adams. In the format of an engaging one-man play, Terry Allee presented a program, as told by John Adams, full of history and the conflict between the representatives of the 13 colonies during the weeks leading up to the July 4th, 1776 signing of the Declaration of Independence.

More history programs coming soon!

We are currently planning a variety of history programs and activities for the coming months - a chance to learn something new and meet others interested in history.
