SUMMARY:Journeys 2026 Lecture
DESCRIPTION:“The 4\,000-Year-Old History of Cannon’s Point”\n \nDuring the 1970s\, archaeologists from the University of Florida spent over two years excavating Cannon’s Point\, uncovering evidence of thousands of years of Native American occupation alongside the remains of the island’s plantation-era landscape. Their work transformed our understanding of Georgia’s coast\, creating a remarkable archaeological record that will continue to serve as an invaluable resource for future research. In his lecture\, Dr. Milanich will reflect on the original excavations\, the lasting significance of the project\, and the recent return of Cannon’s Point archaeological collections to the Coastal Georgia Historical Society\, fulfilling a vision first established more than fifty years ago. \nThis year’s Journeys program begins on Tuesday\, November 17 at 6 p.m. with a lecture by renowned archaeologist Dr. Jerald T. Milanich\, Curator Emeritus at the Florida Museum of Natural History. At St. Simons Presbyterian Church\, he will present his program “The 4\,000-Year-Old History of Cannon’s Point\,” exploring one of the most significant archaeological investigations ever undertaken on St. Simons Island. \nCannon’s Point Preserve is a wilderness preserve owned by the St. Simons Land Trust\, Inc.\, and is open without charge to the public Saturdays\, Sundays & Mondays 9AM-3PM\, and at other times for scheduled events. No portion of the fee is paid to the St. Simons Land Trust\, Inc.\, or its affiliates\, and no part of the fee is a payment for access to Cannon’s Point Preserve\, which is open to the public without charge.  \n \nTickets reserved at the link below are only for the Thursday night lecture. Registration for the field trips on Wednesday\, November 18 will open on at 8 a.m. on Thursday\, October 1. The Society thanks Sea Island for arranging transportation during the 2026 Journeys field trips. \nThe Journeys field trips on Wednesday\, November 18 are sold out.
