Scope and Contents note
The collection consists of materials related to the activities of the Friends of McIntosh Reserve (FOMR) from approximately 2001-2018. It includes records of the agenda for annual meetings, chronological files of correspondence and meeting minutes, clippings, histories of people and places associated with the park, newsletters, and member files.
Of special note are the histories of Bowen Cemetery, Chief McIntosh, and the McIntosh Reserve, along with creative works about Chief McIntosh. There are also records of the “Walk and Talk,” an activity in which enthusiasts walk areas of the reserve while hearing lectures from botanists, geologists, and other scientists, along with information about pollution in the Chattahoochee River, which flows along the southern border of the park.
