DAR celebrates Georgia Day
Host presentation on Camp Lawton
W 020713 DAR 01
Members and guests of the Archibald Bulloch Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution watch a presentation by Georgia Southern University associate professor of Anthropology Lance Greene as he updates progress on the research and archeology at Camp Lawton during a luncheon Thursday.
To honor Georgia’s founding, the Archibald Bulloch Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution gathered Thursday for its 15th Annual Georgia Day Luncheon. The Georgia Day holiday is traditionally observed close to Feb. 12, when James Oglethorpe landed the state’s first settlers near modern-day Savannah. Local members of the DAR, all descendents from men or women who played a part in the American Revolution, celebrated the day with a presentation about Camp Lawton, a Confederate prisoner-of-war camp located at modern-day Magnolia Springs State Park near Millen.
