If you're attending the #SESAH Conference this week, don't miss out on an exciting paper session with Megan McPherson, one of our talented Architectural Historians. Megan will be presenting her paper, "'The Beach'- George Washington Carver Park and the Georgia Segregated State Park System" at the 2024 Southeast Chapter of the Society of Architectural Historians - SESAH Conference tomorrow. Below is the abstract of her paper: Between the 1950s and 1970s, state park development increased significantly in Georgia. However, the parks were heavily segregated by race, with many of the white parks not allowing African American visitors. Across the state, there were five separate parks established for African American Georgians to visit and recreate. The first of these parks, George Washington Carver Park, opened in 1950, blazing the trail for the other parks which began to open as early as two years later. Many of these parks have lost historic integrity over the years since the end of segregation in Georgia due to loss of funding or closure. However, George Washington Carver Park, while no longer owned by the state, is still open and functioning as a county-run park. This paper aims to describe the historical development of the park and its place in the larger segregated state park system. This paper is a portion of McPherson’s thesis that also documented existing site conditions, analyzed the landscape’s significance, identified and assessed integrity as a historic cultural landscape, and recommended treatment strategies.
