You’re invited to Constitution Day at the Georgia Historical Society on September 17

Visit the Georgia Historical Society (GHS) Research Center at 501 Whitaker St. across from Forsyth Park on Wednesday, Sept. 17, 2025, 9am-5pm to view unique objects and documents highlighting Georgia’s role in the development and evolution of our national story.

A variety of unique artifacts will be on display relating to Colonial Georgia, the U.S. Constitution, and American history during the event.

This treasure of the GHS collection, along with a recently conserved Revolutionary War-era drum and other unique objects and documents highlighting Georgia’s role in the development and evolution of our national story will be on display.
