ABOUT US
The Johns Creek Historical Society is a relatively young community nonprofit 501(c)3 organization incorporated in January 2017.
Our interests are discovering, preserving, and sharing the history of the land, events, and earlier inhabitants of the area that is now the City of Johns Creek, Georgia.
A goal is to gather in one place the records and stories of the past to create both a physical and digital archive to preserve this area's history and make it available to the public.
In addition to research and preservation projects, regular meetings, and history presentations, we provide opportunities to explore history with trips to local cemeteries, history sites, museums, and to archival resource centers.
All are welcome to join us.
