In its last regular meeting of 2017, the Bulloch County Historical Society heard about the area’s Native American prehistory, and saw a collection of artifacts dating back thousands of years. Joseph C. Sumner Jr., a Mercer University-educated attorney from Wrightsville, also invests in timber land where preparations for planting pines turn up some of the artifacts. His collection includes some pottery fragments and other items, but hundreds of stone projectile points.
