Preserving the Past The Jekyll Island Museum created its Historic Preservation Department in In the 20 years of its existence, 29 of the island s 33 historic structures have been restored. Notable recent projects include the Horton House Restoration, a Save America s Treasures project, and the restoration of the Mainland Armstrong stained glass window located above the altar in Faith Chapel. Current efforts focus on the ongoing preservation of Hollybourne Cottage, the stabilization of the Jekyll Island Wharf Pavilion, and an adaptive reuse project to turn the 1903 Power Plant into the home of the Georgia Sea Turtle Center. Maintenance in the historic district is continual, and visitors can often see staff repairing shutters, restoring porches, or painting cottages. The Jekyll Island Museum began actively managing the archaeological resources of the island in the 1970s. Since that time, the museum has conducted archaeological surveys, site testing, and research projects on Jekyll Island s historic and prehistoric resources. Projects have particularly focused on the Horton House Historic Site, Jekyll Island Club Service Buildings, and the Pulitzer Cottage porte-cochere. Continuing archaeological research is planned and will focus on the Horton House Historic Site as well as the Pulitzer Cottage Site.
