Historical Note
Ichauway Plantation near Newton, Baker County, Georgia was an early twentieth century
natural hunting preserve founded by Robert W. Woodruff, Chairman of the Coca-Cola
Company. In 1991, the plantation became the Joseph W. Jones Ecological Research Center.
The hunting plantation and later ecological center is one of the biggest employers
in Baker County.
Scope and Content Note
From 1991 to 1994, the Center for the Study of Southern Culture at the University
of Mississippi sent students to conduct interviews, take photographs, and document
the culture of the people who worked on the preserve or lived near it in the Newton,
GA, vicinity. The collection contains letters, interview transcriptions, photocopied
business papers, church bulletins, special event programs, brochures, photographs,
audio tapes, video tape, note pads, finding aids to archived collections, and maps
produced.
