Wright Mitchell, President & CEO, The Georgia Trust for Historic Preservation

The Georgia Trust: Saving Historic Sites

FEBRUARY 20  | 6:00 PM

Reserve your spot!

Wright Mitchell has served as the President and CEO of the Georgia Trust for Historic Preservation since September 2023. An Atlanta native, Mitchell grew up in Buckhead and comes from a successful law career in private practice, specializing in civil litigation and historic preservation law. In 2005, Mitchell founded the Buckhead Heritage Society and served as its volunteer president for 10 years. Under his leadership, Buckhead Heritage implemented numerous historic preservation programs and received the Excellence in Rehabilitation Award from the Georgia Trust in 2009 for the restoration of Harmony Grove Cemetery. Buckhead Heritage also brokered the deal with the City of Atlanta that allowed for the Randolph-Lucas-Jones House (Georgia Trust 2020 Excellence in Rehabilitation Award recipient) to be relocated from Buckhead to Ansley Park.

While involved with Buckhead Heritage, Mitchell continued to practice law and opened his own practice, where he litigated historic preservation cases and advised neighborhoods and homeowners on a variety of historic preservation related topics.

Mitchell is a graduate of The Lovett School in Atlanta and holds a bachelor’s degree from the University of South Carolina and a law degree from Emory University.

Mitchell previously served on the Georgia Trust Board of Trustees from 2006 to 2012 and held several officer roles including vice chairman.

Wright currently serves as an emeritus board member of Buckhead Heritage and is a member of The Lovett School Board of Trustees. Previously, Wright served on the board of the Atlanta Preservation Center and was appointed to the Georgia Governor’s Mansion Executive Fine Arts Committee and City of Atlanta Sesquicentennial Civil War Commission.

In his presentation, Wright will provide an overview of The Georgia Trust’s preservation programs including its Revolving Fund, Easements, Legislative Advocacy, Awards, Grants and Places in Peril.

Wright will also provide an update on sites along the Georgia coast that have previously been named to The Georgia Trust’s list of Places in Peril including the Kiah House, the Berrien House and Ashbury United Methodist Church (all located in Savannah) and The Adam Strain Building in Darien and Hog Hummock Community on Sapelo Island. The mission of The Georgia Trust is to work for the preservation and revitalization of Georgia’s diverse historic resources and advocate their appreciation, protection and use.

Down by the Riverside-Stories from the Gullah/Geechee Tradition

The stories that hail from the Gullah/Geechee people from Coastal Georgia and South Carolina are as deep and enduring as the Savannah River.

Master Storyteller Lillian Grant-Baptiste will use the art of storytelling to tell the powerful, yet at times, poignant stories of the Gullah/Geechee people. Savannah is in the middle of the Gullah/Geechee Corridor, and is rich with significant historical happenings, and Grant-Baptiste will soulfully and skillfully highlight and bring to life specific events from Savannah’s history, events like, “The Weeping Time,” “The Proclamation of Forty Acres and a Mule,” and many more. The performance will be exploding and bubbling over with creative and artistic expressions, expressions like African drumming, poetry, and the singing of soulful and melodic songs from the African American tradition. The audience will be both mesmerized and riveted by the magic and movement of the performance, and will be on the edge of their seats, longing for more.

In the Fall of 2023, Cohen’s Retreat Community Foundation & over 3000 Savannah Chatham County Public & Private School students joined together to plant 1500 Royal Velvet camellia’s along the beloved Harry Truman Bike Path in Savannah, GA. The community service effort was an incredible reflection of the impact our Youth can have on their own City, and how much fun they can have in the meantime. Each Friday over this 6-week service project, public & private schools from across the County would come together with one common goal: learn about the rich history of the camellia flower in Savannah & how they'll be contributing to it moving forward. Each student that participated in the Savannah Camellia Project was able to leave their own mark on history in a way - with a plant tag on their camellia, where they left their name & year on each plant. Cohen's Retreat Community Foundation deemed this project a success once we saw new friendships being made between students that may never have met each other otherwise, new skills and interests being developed in nature & gardening, and even just hearing the students saying they'll return with their friends & families to show them the hard work they did that day to plant their camellia. We intended for this Project to unify our community, but it truly touched our hearts in ways unimaginable.

The Savannah Camellia Festival will be the first annual celebration of this historic project - celebrating the efforts of the students & educators, and hopefully reuniting those that made new friends along the trail. We also want to take this opportunity to provide more education & information on the camellia flower itself; this project was a small first step & we learned many students would take advantage of this if it were accessible.

The day's events are in partnership with the Coastal Georgia Camellia Society & include a bloom show, plant sale, keynote speaker, information sessions, and arts & crafts activities.

The bloom show begins staging at 9AM at Cohen's Retreat. This 2 hour time period will be utilized for those interested in entering a bloom into the competition to be judged by the public. Each participant can enter more than one bloom into the show. Once participants arrive at Cohen's Retreat for staging (prior to 11AM), they will enter through the side door entrance of the Art Tank event space, and go through the registration process for the competition. Once you have completed registration, you are welcome to return back to Cohen's Retreat once the event is open at 11AM.

The day's activities all run from 11AM-4PM. The plant sale is with Hobbes Hill Farms, and a portion of the sales go towards the Cohen's Retreat Community Foundation for the upkeep of the camellia trail. They will be selling dozens of varieties of camellias outside of Cohen's throughout the event, and it is even the same Master Gardener that grew the 1500 Royal Velvet camellias planted for the Savannah Camellia Project. What a beautiful full circle moment!

We will have light refreshments available for guests with a cash bar, and encourage those looking to visit for the Camellia Festival to also browse through the rest of Cohen's Retreat and possibly grab a bite at the restaurant after our feature speaker!
