At tonight’s meeting, we brainstormed several ideas for the museum at the Claxton Evans County Arts & Cultural Authority, located at the historic school on 707 W. Main Street in Claxton. Several ideas were thrown out, including seasonal exhibits, agricultural and educational exhibits, etc. We are currently looking for artifacts (photos, etc.), of historical importance to the county and its towns and will be meeting again on Tuesday the 29th at 5:30pm at the museum. If you have any ideas for artifacts or projects for the society, please feel free to contact us at [email protected].

This past Thursday, January 25, the Evans County Historical Society met to discuss working on the upcoming museum which will be housed in the Jack & Muriel Strickland Arts & Cultural Center, the two story building which was the high school, elementary school and, finally, a middle school for Evans County students. It was a good meeting, with lots of ideas talked about.

Members will be going to Eatonton, Georgia, on Thursday, February 1st, to tour their museum inside the Plaza Arts Center. More details will follow soon.

The Evans County Historical Society has been advised by the Arts & Cultural Authority that the projected date of occupancy of the renovated 2-story former school building (future home of the Jack & Muriel Strickland Arts & Cultural Center) could be September. As you know, the Historical Society has been charged with an exciting opportunity for our community – to create (design/develop) a museum that will be housed in this building. There is much to be done in anticipation of the grand opening later this year. The Historical Society has scheduled a meeting for Thursday, January 25th, 5:00 pm, at the Claxton Veterans Community Center to discuss plans for this project. We hope that you will join us. We MUST come away from this meeting with a working committee and plans to move forward with the creation of our community’s museum.

If you have questions or would like more information prior to the meeting, feel free to contact Paul Eason (912) 293-2640 or Darin McCoy (912) 682-5042.
