Historic Preservation
The City of Euharlee Historic Preservation Commission works to preserve the historical, cultural and architectural heritage of our community for future generations.

The HPC meets quarterly on the fourth Tuesday of the month, and as needed.
Commission Members: Steve Zuber - Chair, Betty Jane Tilley - Secretary, Melissa Moore, Lovako Patterson, Luke Young
DIGNITY RESTORED: Citizens of Georgia Power breathe life back into a historic cemetery.
"Wedged between two historic churches in northwest Georgia, the Euharlee Black Pioneers Cemetery is the final resting place for nearly 300 enslaved members of the Euharlee community.
After being nearly forgotten for most of the 20th century, the cemetery was saved from destruction in the 1990s but needed a great deal of attention and restoration as the site had been almost completely obstructed due to overgrowth and neglect. Its location, scarcely a mile from Plant Bowen, inspired a group from the plant’s Citizens of Georgia Power chapter to get involved in the restoration and repair of the historic burial ground.
In 2020, a large storm event uprooted more than a dozen trees - burying again that which had been uncovered in the years before. But this time, the Citizens of Plant Bowen were ready from the outset to begin the meticulous and painstaking work of restoring a small piece of dignity to this community. Today the cemetery’s restoration is nearly complete, and community members have the opportunity to both learn from and pay respect to the souls it contains."
