"John Adam Treutlen ... Georgia's First Constitutional Governor" will
be the theme of the annual Labor Day Heritage Festival and Celebration at
Ebenezer, Monday, September 3, 2012.
The speaker will be Richard Loper, Immediate
Past President of Historical Effingham Society. His topic is "John Adam
Treutlen, Georgia's First Constitutional Governor" and he will come
dressed
in costume as Treutlen, who was a leading citizen of early Ebenezer and
Effingham County. Another feature on this year's program of events is the
return of six old historic books to Ebenezer--old books from the colonial
period and books that were owned primarily by the early pastors at Ebenezer.
These books, currently held by Newberry College (SC), will be formally
transferred to the GSS Museum and put on display for the first time in this
era.
The Hinely Poster Contest theme is "John Adam Treutlen, Georgia's First Constitutional Governor." You may call the office at 912-754-7001 or email to gaslzbrgr@aol.com for additional information and Entry Form. Deadline for receiving entries ... August 22, 2012.
