Despite the short distance between them, Jekyll and St. Simons islands have long shared a constantly shifting relationship. Allison Dupuis, the Director of Public Programming at the Coastal Georgia Historical Society, will explore this relationship through historical accounts, documents, and images from both islands and from their neighbors. Encompassing a nearly 300-year period of history, from the lifetime of James Oglethorpe to the present day, this narrative shows the two communities as rivals, as webs of family relationships, and ultimately as necessary lifelines for each other.
