NPS - Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area
Hewett Lodge - visitors center
Hewlett Lodge
The park’s headquarters and visitor center formerly served as a family summer retreat for Samuel D Hewlett, Sr., a prominent Atlanta attorney. Its rustic Adirondacks style – local stone, cypress logs from the Okefenokee Swamp, and shingled roof with broad overhangs -was unusual in the south when the Lodge was built between 1936 and 1941.
Hewlett sold the property in 1950 to the Buckhead Century Club, which enclosed the porch and added a swimming pool. By 1955 the club had become a camp and retreat facility for the Atlanta Baptist Assembly. The National Park Service acquired Hewlett Lodge and the Island Ford area in 1979.
