Society hosts the county's only genealogy library of over 1,600
publications, an archive collection of assorted county and family records, a
map collection, a book store for county-specific publications, a microfilm
research room, a growing collection of vintage and historic family and
Gwinnett locations photographs, and an office with assorted surname, church,
cemetery, school, place, and subject files. Our
volunteers are involved in about 20 major program areas; publishing a
quarterly news magazine and managing an extensive website. The
Winn House is open by appointment and includes the rehabilitated 1811 Elisha
Winn House (birthplace of Gwinnett County), a 12-acre wooded area, picnic
facilities, and a variety of other buildings of historic interest, including
the Walnut Grove one-room schoolhouse, the old Lawrenceville Jail, and a
blacksmith shop. Plans
for a permanent museum at the Winn Home are under way and will include the
pre-contact Native American artifacts recently discovered during the 2006
archaeological dig up to the period of restoration. |
