Friends
The Friends of Sweetwater Creek State Park,
Inc. is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization of Volunteers
who have incorporated with the purpose of protecting,
preserving, and carefully developing the rich nature
and history of Sweetwater Creek State Park.
For years Sweetwater Creek State Park Volunteers
have taken school children, church groups and others,
down the trails of Sweetwater Creek teaching them
history and telling the stories of introducing them
to the nature of the world they live in. We support
the Park with needed equipment and repairs, all
for free without public money. We operate the Wild
Wednesday program all summer, New Manchester Days,
and weekly presentations during February History
Month. Most importantly, we are raising money to
build the badly needed Interpretive Center.
So, why would this group of unpaid Volunteers do
so much? When you visit and see beautiful forest
covered hills and sparkling white-water stream &
lake, you’ll agree that it must be preserved and
protected. Volunteers have also researched the history
of New Manchester and are ready to show an incredible
story of one of Georgia’s only ghost towns. History
and heritage need to be preserved.
