Historic Sites

Dating back to the mid-1500's, some of the nation's oldest history is an integral part of this area.

As part of the historical significance of Georgia, Kingsland and St. Marys have been listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Kingsland was once owned by a King: King George II of England.

Some 53 years after Georgia was granted its charter from King George, another "King", John King, acquired enough land to become the largest land and plantation owner in what is now Camden County.

Some of the historic sites in the area include:

    Orange Hall c. 1829
    - A Greek Revival historic home that visitors may tour.

    The First Presbyterian Church of St. Marys c. 1808
    - Georgia's oldest church still in continuous use.

    Oak Grove Cemetery c. 1788
    - Under the old oaks laden with Spanish moss you will find the founding fathers of the area.

    McIntosh Sugar Mill Tabby Ruins c. 1825
    - Among the oldest industrial sites of Georgia.
