Our Organization
The Whitfield-Murray Historical Society was formed in the 1950's as part of an effort to restore the historic Vann House in Spring Place, Georgia. In 1976, following a period of inactivity, the Society was reorganized as a non-profit organization seeking to preserve and document the history of Whitfield and Murray Counties. Much has been accomplished since 1976, and new and exciting things continue to happen with our society. Please browse around. We hope you will consider becoming our newest member! To put it simply, we love our local heritage and want to preserve it so that you can savor its richness as well!
Our Purpose
The Society is a cultural, educational, non-profit association of individual members and entities interested in and dedicated to the collection, preservation, study, and dissemination of historic information and objects about people, places, organizations, and events in Murray and Whitfield counties.
