History
At the Georgia Town History Committee meeting in 1974, it was decided to organize a historical society. On March 14, 1975, interested people met in the Fellowship Room at the Methodist Church and elected officers. H. Hale Nye was the first President. In August 1975 the Historical Society opened the museum at the Brick School.
