The Gwinnett Historical Society, established in 1966, is a non-profit organization dedicated to the preservation, promotion, and collection of Gwinnett County's rich history. They work tirelessly to preserve historical sites, cemeteries, and family lineage records, as well as document the history of churches, schools, organizations, and other institutions in the county. Gwinnett County, named after Button Gwinnett, one of Georgia's signers of the Declaration of Independence, has a resilient history that dates back to its creation in 1818. From its agrarian economy centered around subsistence farming and cotton production to its transformation into a modern and diverse county, Gwinnett has experienced significant growth and development. The Gwinnett Historical Society plays a crucial role in preserving and sharing this history through their genealogical library, restoration of the historic Elisha Winn House, and extensive research and documentation of cemeteries and publications.Generated from the website
