In the late 19th century, some of America's wealthiest families joined together to form the Jekyll Island Club.

Morgan, Joseph Pulitzer, Cyrus McCormick, and William Vanderbilt who all came to enjoy the leisurely pace and recreational adventure of the Georgia coast. The Jekyll Island Club includes images of the architecture, clothing, transportation, and natural beauty unique to the island. This exquisite collection is sure to rekindle awe and wonder in the hearts of those who have visited the island, and serve as a wonderful introduction for newcomers.
