On June 4, 2010 several “interested parties” converged on the archaeological site of Fort Perry in rural Marion County, Georgia (Figure 1). Those attending this ad hoc meeting were Dan Barbaree (the present landowner of Fort Perry), Mike Bunn (Columbus Museum), Daniel Elliott (The LAMAR Institute), Fred Fussell, Don Gordy, Terry Jackson (Georgia Department of Community Affairs), James Storey, William Storey, Billy Wynn and Stephen R. White (Marion County Building Code and Zoning Administrator). This short report provides a brief history of Fort Perry and details the June 4th reconnaissance of this important historic site.
