Rich Historical and Genealogical Heritage.

The Gwinnett Historical Society has
over 400 members. Our volunteers operate the Society's
center and library Monday through Friday on the second floor
of the Historic Courthouse in downtown Lawrenceville, along
with the 19.2-acre Elisha Winn Property in Hog
Mountain-Dacula area. The Society hosts the county's only
genealogy library of over 1,600 publications, an archive
collection of assorted county and family records, a map
collection, a book store for county-specific publications, a
microfilm research room, a growing collection of vintage and
historic family and Gwinnett locations photographs, and an
office with assorted surname, church, cemetery, school,
place, and subject files. Our volunteers are involved in
about 20 major program areas; publishing a quarterly news
magazine and managing an extensive website. The Winn House
is open by appointment and includes the rehabilitated 1811
Elisha Winn House (birthplace of Gwinnett County), a 12-acre
wooded area, picnic facilities, and a variety of other
buildings of historic interest, including the Walnut Grove
one-room schoolhouse, the old Lawrenceville Jail, and a
blacksmith shop. Plans
for a permanent museum at the Winn Home are under way and
will include the pre-contact Native American artifacts
recently discovered during the 2006 archaeological dig up to
the period of restoration.
