Please join us for the next meeting of the Towns County Historical Society on Monday, August 12 at 6:00 p.m. The meeting will be held in the Towns County Civic Center due to ongoing work at our regular meeting room. Note that our meeting time has changed to 6:00 p.m. beginning in August.
The program will be presented by Mary Ann McCall Miller who will take us on a personal tour of old Hiawassee through her collection of pictures of buildings and businesses of the past.
Part II of the program will be presented by Jerry Taylor who will share the original plan for the town of Hiawassee and explain how that plan developed in certain areas and was circumvented in others. The program will conclude with a brief overview of the strategic plan developed for modern Hiawassee.
