The first organization, that would later become the 4-H, started at the Georgia Boys Corn Club in Newton County in the year 1904. In this early club, boys planted and carted for their crop, and exhibited it in the fair. Just southeast of Newton County, another milestone in Georgia 4-H history was growing. Like the boys in Newton County, the girls of Hancock County wanted an opportunity to be part of an educational club and thus the Girls Tomato Canning Club began in 1908. The girls grew tomatoes in their family vegetable gardens and canned them for competition.
Georgia 4-H has expanded and grown since our beginnings more than one hundred years ago. We have many learning opportunities and projects with agricultural and science topics, and we also have opportunities in other areas like the environment, citizenship, leadership, family and consumer science, and, of course, communication.
This cache is hidden near what was Bainbridge College. Now this location acts as the Seminole County Extension building which houses the Agriculture and 4-H offices. There is no need to go into the building but someone is always there from 8:00 to 5:00. Should be a quick park and grab in a quiet part of the town.
