hello

A ceremony of unveiling and dedication of the Reece historical marker was recently conducted at the Byron Herbert Reece Farm site. This marker, which features biographical information about Reece, is the first one installed in Union County by the Georgia Historical Society.

In addition to the Georgia Historical Society, other sponsors of the marker include the Reece Society, Union County Government, Union County Historical Society, and Young Harris College . John Kay, chair of the Reece Society, presided over the ceremony, which included remarks by Christy Crisp, program Coordinator of The Georgia Historical Society; Steven Reece (grand-nephew of Byron Reece), who unveiled the marker as a family representative; and Lamar Paris, Union County Commissioner.

The Reece Farm and Heritage Center is located one mile north of Vogel State Park on Highway 129.
