The DeKalb Historical Society (DHS) established in 1947,
is the only organization dedicated to keeping the history
of DeKalb County, Georgia through preservation, education
and documentation.
DHS is one of the largest county-based historical societies
in Georgia with a membership of over 1,200. In 2003, DHS
expanded its role as a community resource by establishing
the DeKalb History Center.
Housed in the Old Courthouse on the Square, the DeKalb
History Center consists of the Society, the McCurdy
Family Research Center and the Jim
Cherry Museum. The History Center
also maintains the
Historic Complex located
on West Trinity Place in Decatur that includes three antebellum
structures: the Benjamin Swanton House, the Biffle Cabin
and the Barber Cabin. The Old Courthouse serves as a popular
event facility.
