Newport, RI

Fort Adams, a National Historic Landmark, constructed 1824-57, is the most complex coastal fortification in the United States. Established July 4th, 1799, to defend Newport Harbor, significant enhancements were made to the Fort standing today to defend against attacks from both land and sea. Remaining in active use through World War II, today Fort Adams is best known as the host site of the Newport Jazz and Folk Festivals. In partnership with the State of Rhode Island, the Fort Adams Trust, a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization charged with operating the Fort, has invested nearly $12 million into its restoration. Guided tours provide scenic views of Newport Harbor from atop the walls, as well as access to the underground listening tunnels, deep beneath.

Milton, Georgia

Milton Historical Society, founded in 2018, is acquiring a collection to reflect the history of Milton. Once Cherokee land, white settlers acquired the land via lottery beginning in 1805. Farms and churches began to dot the landscape. Land beside an old crabapple tree became the site for a school house in 1874. This area within Milton is today well known by residents as Crabapple, anchored by the historic Broadwell Building. Cotton was a main crop until the boll weevil and depression left the farmers struggling. Joining with Fulton County in 1932 helped the area manage through these times. Schools, roads and proximity to metro Atlanta sprawl helped growth along the way. Significant amounts of pasture remained until the 1980's even with the continued population growth. The late 1980's to early 2000's have seen a steady transition to a more urban community, highlighted by the city of Milton forming in 2006 from unincorporated Fulton County. By 2020, the city had approached 40,000 residents. The residents and government wish to keep ties with its agricultural past and the Society supports their aims. Not all items in our collection appear here. Check back periodically for updates or contact archives@miltonhistorical-georgia.org. Photo above courtesy of Leslie Watson

Sports Immortals is the lifelong vision and effort of Joel Platt. For him, sports represents the best of the human spirit–every individual striving to reach their maximum potential. After suffering life threatening injuries from a gasoline explosion at the age of four, Joel has spent the last eight decades assembling what the Smithsonian Institution has claimed is "absolutely the greatest collection of all sports." Joel has traveled over one million miles to curate over one million mementos. However, it's more than just uniforms, gear, autographs, photos, etc., Sports Immortals exists to ensure the memories created by the world's greatest athletes continue to inspire us for generations to come. To that end, Joel and his son, Jim, have created the Sports Immortals Projects Company to develop various projects that will utilize their vast content together with the latest interactive and immersive technologies. The Sports Immortals planned developments include the SI International Hall of Fame, SI Traveling Exhibitions, Documentaries, Merchandising Opportunities, Digital Applications and more. Franco Harris stated "The Sports Immortals Collection is like having all the sports halls of fame under one roof." Baseball, Basketball, Boxing, Football, Golf, Hockey, Olympics, Soccer, Tennis, Auto Racing, Horse Racing, Cricket...all are represented.
