Devoted to the Preservation of Gwinnett County's
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.
