Sons Of Confederate Veteran Camp #108 – SCV 108 – http://www.scvcamp108.com

Our History Project Mission update.

The Sons of Confederate Veterans are for anyone?

We are pleased to announce the near completion of one of our latest outreach projects. Our History Project has been working with The Sons of Confederate Veterans (SCV) Camp 108; a local SCV Camp located locally here in McDonough, GA; to fashion and website design, to encourage members, volunteers and the community to become involved with local historical education, preservation and community projects. SCV Camp 108 hosts monthly meetings on the fourth (4^th) Monday of each month at the Nash Farm Battlefield Museum complete with a special topic or presenter on a wide verity of historical topics at each one. The meetings are open to the public and attendance is encouraged.

Our History Project, Inc.; a national non-profit based organization; chose to work with SCV camp 108 because of their volunteerism, open involvement, passion for history and open platform presented by its members. They have worked hard to bring other groups to Henry County including Sons of Union Veterans (SUV) and are helping to form a local chapter of the Sons of the American Revolution (SAR).

Collectively and personally the SCV Camp 108 had well over 2000 community service volunteer hours in 2010 including; multiple Education Days’ for local schools. This does not count its members supporting their Churches, Charities, community businesses, local needs and projects. They have shown and proven their dedication to preserving our nation’s past through works, writings and media presentations.

“I was so impressed by what these guys are doing, I joined myself.”, said Craig Anderson, the Executive Director of Our History Project.

You can visit the Henry County Sons of Confederate Veterans Camp 108 website at http://www.scvcamp108.com or visit a meeting held every fourth Monday of the month at the Nash Farm Battlefield Museum at 7 PM. Past presentations have included topics on mapping, families, genealogy, metal detecting, unit stories, military strategies, nonprofits and the list goes on and on. Visit their website or attend a meeting, it is open to all.

OHP Radio - The Canonball House in Historic Macon, GA

An Invitation For You

Welcome to Our History Project

I want to invite you to the Canonball House Museum in Macon, GA. It is a stop along the trail that you will not forget because it has something for everyone. From the little kids to the big kids they have a piece of history and a love of sharing that will not only embrace you but also immerse you in history. The unique experience in talking to Dorene Buchanan is that she could talk as much about the rest of Historical Macon as she did about the Canonball House, and they want you to explore it all.

The Canonball House is right off I-75 and I-16 in Macon, GA, so the next time you are driving through pull off, stretch your legs and explore some History with them. If your local, what better way to spend the day. They would love to have ya.
