Episode Notes In this special episode, we introduce you to our new Executive Director Greg Payne! Raised in the historically rich region of Northern Virginia, Greg's enthusiasm for history was ignited at an early age. “I was fortunate to grow up where I did, surrounded by as much American History as I was. It was through great teachers, musems, and books that I found a passion for history and how history can be used to connect people not just to the past but within their present communities as well.” adds Greg. Greg's academic journey culminated with a Bachelor of Science in History from Portland State University and an M.B.A. from East Carolina University. Professionally, Greg has showcased exemplary leadership in roles such as Senior Project Manager at Descartes Systems and Services Project Manager at Manhattan Associates. His experience managing multiple customer implementation projects, collaborating with diverse teams, and mentoring team members speaks to his ability to lead and inspire. His tenure at UPS in Corporate Transportation and IT Solutions further underscores his adeptness in strategic planning, project execution, and stakeholder communication. Beyond his corporate journey, Greg's commitment to community shines through. Before accepting the position, Greg was a dedicated volunteer with the History Center and has held leadership roles in organizations like Toastmasters and the Boy Scouts of America. Greg is also the host of his original Cool Grandpa podcast which offers insights and resources for grandparents to connect with their grandchildren. "We're all so grateful to have Greg on the team,” says Libba Beaucham, who acted as Interim Executive Director and is now Director of Operations. “It was an honor and a rewarding experience to be Interim Executive Director, but we really needed someone with Greg's skill set, experience, and strategic approach to fully realize our potential. Being a fellow history nerd, Greg also understands the value we offer to the community. I'm really looking forward to learning from Greg and working with him as a team leader!” As the Northeast Georgia History Center continues its mission to connect people with the past, the addition of Greg Payne to its leadership team marks a promising new era, especially as the museum will be celebrating its 20th anniversary in 2024.

It is hardly surprising that folks who work in museums like to, well, visit other museums!  It's a great way not just to learn about other subjects, but to hone one's own craft and understanding of the profession, and maybe even ~~steal~~ borrow some ideas for your own museum. In this episode Marie and Glen "nerd out" about some of their favorite museums... other than the Northeast Georgia History Center, of course! Find out more at http://www.thenagainpodcast.com

In our latest episode of Then Again, Marie interviews Lesley Jones, the Collections and Archives Manager of the Northeast Georgia History Center, about séances. More specifically, Victorian seances in late 1800s London, which is the focus of Lesley's recent Master's thesis titled Home is Where the Haunt is: The Cultural History of the Domestic Séance in Victorian London. Generally, when we think of seances our mind sends us to spooky corners, filled with evil spirits. But Lesley is here to offer a different perspective, that of the Victorian age, where people sought to communicate with loved ones who had passed. This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

When we learn about the Women's Suffrage moment in the United States, the big events are generally focused on the Northeast and Western regions.

Dr. Katherine Rohrer's areas of expertise include the 19th and 20th century U.S. South, race relations, women's history, and religion, all of which collide in the pro and anti-suffrage movements in the South.

How did Hall County play into the forced removal of Native Americans from the Southeast? Why was Corn Tassel hanged after his return to Hall from the Cherokee Nation? Listen to Hall Tales host Johnny Vardeman talk with Cherokee historian Lamar Sneed and Glen Kyle, director of the Northeast Georgia History Center, about Hall County’s history with Native Americans — a story of treaties forged and fought over, gold and the Trail of Tears. Hall Tales is a podcast series produced by The Times that explores the history of Hall County from recent events to those beyond living memory. Episodes will be coming out twice a month until December, when the county will celebrate its 200th birthday. If you’d like more information on the podcast, email nbowman@gainesvilletimes.com.

Host Johnny Vardeman talks with Warren Jones, a railroad historian and retired professor, about the early days of the lines running through North Georgia and Gainesville. Hear about the days when rail was the lifeline of towns like Helen, then a timber town, and Gainesville, which grew into the economic center of Northeast Georgia with the addition of several rail lines in the 1800s. Johnny and Warren cover the history of the Gainesville Midland, a train robbery by the infamous Bill Miner and the demise of Helen’s rail branch. You can catch a presentation from Warren at the Northeast Georgia History Center in September. More info here: negahc.org/articles/events/detail/id/426/ Warren also provided The Times with a copy of his original song, “Remembering a Railroad,” alternatively titled “Three Cents a Mile,” performed by Helen artist Dede Vogt and company. Listen to the end of the episode to hear the song.
