The Georgia Salzburger Society, headquartered in historic Ebenezer, Georgia, celebrates the history and heritage of the Georgia Salzburgers who emigrated and settled in Old Ebenezer and New Ebenezer.[1] [2] [3] [4] It was established in 1925 as an independently operating genealogical and archaeological organization[5]

The Society operates a research library and a living history museum housing an extensive collection of artifacts.[6] The museum is built on the site of the Ebenezer Orphanage, the first orphanage in the state of Georgia (1737).[7] [8]

As of 2019, the Georgia Salzburger Society has over 1,700 members throughout the United States, as well as some international members.[9]
