The Sugar Hill Historic Preservation Society is compiling stories, videos, and photos to remember the events of this novel coronavirus pandemic. The public is invited to share their memories, especially ways the community has responded with acts of care and kindness. They are also seeking photos, videos and stories about the creative ways the community is staying connected while social distancing.

The Sugar Hill Historic Preservation Society works to gather historical information about the city and its north Georgia surrounding areas. Digital files will be archived and available on the society’s website page at www.cityofsugarhill.com as well as the Digital Library of Georgia.
