Contents: |
The collection consists of genealogy, correspondence, writings, photographs, daguerreotypes, and printed material. The early
correspondence concerns the LeConte, Furman and Carter families. More recent correspondence is of Carolyn Shaw McMillan, a
great granddaughter of Emma Florence LeConte Furman. Much of this correspondence deals with efforts to preserve LeConte-Woodmanston
and to reconstruct the botanical garden. In 1973 the site was placed on the National Register of Historic Places, and of the
original 3,354 acres, 63.8 acres were deeded to the Garden Club of Georgia in 1977. Most of the writings are by Emma Florence
LeConte Furman, who kept diaries for many years, and also wrote of her travels and her family.
