Preserving History at the Farm and Home Museum

  • ECHPS Farm and Home Museum at 161 Museum Road, Swainsboro, GA

Longview Farm, the History Center of the Emanuel County Historic Preservation Society, (ECHPS) is located in Swainsboro, Georgia on 15 acres leased from the County of Emanuel. It contains a collection of old buildings that have been relocated from their original sites within the County. Our goal is to consolidate a group of structures, in a museum format, that will demonstrate various segments of early life and local history.

The Farm and Home Museum is located within the History Center. It contains material, tools, and equipment dating from the time Emanuel County was first settled up to late 1900’s.

Our communities directional markers were added in 2018.
We are restoring the 56 Drive-In Sign.
