The Ashantilly Center is a
nonprofit, educational organization. It's mission statement: "...to organize and implement a program of conservation, including Ashantilly property and its legacy, to provide a vehicle for continuing education, scientific advancement and charitable endeavor which focus on the natural and built environments integral to the Georgia Coast." Currently, the Ashantilly Center hopes to raise funds to replace the roof on the Ashantilly mansion, one of the finest
examples of early coastal Georgia architecture. The interior rooms are
beautifully designed and graced with lovely antiques. Members and
supporters are able to tour the interior during the special fund
raising events held throughout the year. To find out more about
