Many excavations have been conducted over the years, in which archaeologists have unearthed Native American arrowheads, pottery, tools and smoking pipes. In the 1500’s, the Spanish arrived on a mission to convert the Creeks and build The Mission of San Diego de Satuache, located along the edge of the Ogeechee River.The Cottenham PlantationAutomobile icon Henry Ford purchased this property in the 1920’s, including a homestead called Cottenham Plantation, and some structural elements are still evident in the community today.To live surrounded by such history is rare in the United States.
