The Fort Yargo Living History Society, Inc.
We are non-profit corporation registered with
the state of Georgia, dedicated to preserving the historically
significant remains of the Humphries brothers trading post at Fort
Yargo, near the present day city of Winder, GA.
It is our fervent hope that we might be able
to return the structure to the way it would have been constructed and
furnished in the period of its birth, the 1790's. This will be done as
much as possible by using period tools and methods, using modern
methods and materials only where required for safety or the longevity
of the structure.
Having done this, we hope to use this facility
as an educational Living History demonstration site, where public
schools and school groups can come and experience a glimpse of what
life on the frontier may have been like. Demonstrations will be
provided by volunteers that have studied the period in Georgia's
history, and provide as accurate an impression of the time as is
possible.
We are in the process of publishing a cookbook
“Fort Yargo Cookhouse” that will be available for sale this
year. We are seeking sponsors to help with our efforts to rebuild
the “old fort” and surroundings. Please help us in
keeping our history alive.
