DISCOVERING THE PEOPLE AND ENVIRONMENTS OF THE PAST
Jekyll Island was a much different place when people first settled on this island.
Archaeological and paleo-ecological research tells the story of Jekyll’s past—how people lived on the island, interacting with plants and animals. This fascinating exploration of ancient times reaches back 4500 years.
