The Old Jail Art Center & Musuem

The McIntosh Art Association was founded on October 5, 2000 by four people who enjoyed painting together. The current membership stands at 265 and is constantly growing. We are incorporated as a non-profit organization. Our stated purpose is to promote the arts in McIntosh County with an emphasis on the visual arts. To that end we sponsor exhibits, sales, trips, educational classes, maintain an art center and museum, and lend support to other creative endeavors in this area.

Fort King George State Historic Site

From 1721 until 1736, Fort King George was the southern outpost of the British Empire in North America. A cypress blockhouse, barracks and palisaded earthen fort were constructed in 1721 by Colonel John “Tuscarora Jack” Barnwell. For the next seven years, His Majesty’s Independent Company garrisoned the fort. They endured incredible hardships from disease, threats of Spanish and Indian attacks, and the harsh, unfamiliar coastal environment. After the fort was abandoned, General James Oglethorpe brought Scottish Highlanders to the site in 1736. The settlement, called Darien, eventually became a foremost export center of lumber until 1925. The site today is a faithful reconstruction open for public tours. A museum and film cover the Guale Indians, the Santo Domingo de Talaje mission, Fort King George, the Scots of Darien, and 19th century sawmilling era. In addition to the many fort buildings, remains of three sawmills and tabby ruins are still visible.
