Outreach programming, where we bring a history presentation to your community group or business, is also available on a variety of topics of local history.

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
