Headquarters - 1036 Ridge Avenue, Stone Mountain, GA
Welcome!
WE VALUE HISTORY. DO YOU? If you do, please let us introduce ourselves.
We are YOUR Historic Society.
Upcoming events: Third Thursdays at the Wells-Brown House
: June 21 7 pm (free to attend). If you are not a member, consider joining our membership now.)
The
Stone Mountain Historic Society, Inc. was founded in 1997 and its numbers have grown since then. The kind donation of the
Wells Brown House by tthe Brown Family to the Society galvanized our group, allowing us to have a headquarters for our meetings
and providing a place for the Society to grow.
Our Mission is to promote public interest in the preservation
of historic buildings and sites, and to collect, interpret
and preserve the unique heritage of the City of Stone Mountain and its environs.
Our
Vision is to become the touchstone for Stone Mountain's heritage by actively preserving, collecting, interpreting
and educating the public about Stone Mountain's rich past.
We believe that preserving and enhancing the historic
character of our city will invigorate and enrich our commercial and community life.
We are a non-profit 501(c)3
corporation, organized and operated exclusively for charitable and educational purposes. All contributions and donations to
the society are tax deductible to the full extent of the law.
We welcome any interested adult who is concerned with preserving the village’s historic character. City residents as well as persons who do not reside in Stone Mountain are welcome.
Please be aware: The Stone Mountain Historic Society, Inc. should
not be confused with The Stone Mountain Historic Preservation Commission, which
is a city board (comparable to the Planning and Zoning board) and is appointed by the Mayor and City Council to regulate preservation
efforts in its’ recently established Local Historic District.
