We cannot live only for ourselves. A thousand fibers connect us with our fellow-men; and along those fibers, as sympathetic threads, our actions run as causes, and they come back to us as effects.

A Visit to the Fayette County Historical Society

11-26-06 Fayette County is chocked full of interesting places to visit. One that many might not have on their list of places to visit is the Fayette Historical Society. The Society can't be compared to Disney World, but it certainly is fascinating in its own way!

Recently I made my first visit to the Society, not having any idea as to what I'd find inside the aged house in Fayetteville....

The Fayette County Historical Society was chartered as a
nonprofit corporation in July 1971 to discover, collect, preserve and make accessible to the public materials which establish and illustrate the history of the county, its cities, towns, villages and institutions.

Dr. Kirby Johnson to Speak at Historical Society Meeting May 18

4/25/08 (8:50 p.m.) History takes many forms, but oral history and storytelling remind us of our past, our roots and the changes that have taken place in our area. The Fayette County Historical Society’s monthly meeting will be May 18 at 3 p.m. at the Margaret Mitchell Research Center at 195 Lee Street. The public is invited to hear Dr. Kirby Johnson.  He is a native of Fairburn.  After receiving his Doctorate of Veterinarian Medicine from Auburn University in 1946, he began his career as an intern at the Decal County Veterinarian Hospital and then opened his private practice in Fairburn in the late 1940's. 

He and his wife Betty have 6 daughters and 4 sons, 16 grandchildren and 3 great-grandchildren. He has many rich stories to tell about his experiences serving citizens of Fayette County.           

He also has become a student of the McCook-Stoneman's Raid; and is the historian of his local Sons of Confederate Veterans group.  In his spare time he has been a member of the barbershop harmony group The Southland Chorus. 

Please invite someone to join us on Sunday, May 18, 2008 at 3 p.m. 

For directions or additional information contact the Fayette County Historical Society at 770-716-6020 or visit the FCHS website.
