In the 1950s a group of real estate developers amassed over 12,000 acres in Fayette County, Georgia to build a planned community. Peachtree City was chartered March 9, 1959. The city was planned and developed into villages, each with its own shopping areas, recreational facilities, and elementary schools. Peachtree City’s current villages are Aberdeen, Braelinn, Glenloch, Kedron, and Wilksmoor. In the original plan Peachtree City was planned to have between 80,000 to 110,000 residents. In 1985, the city's plan was revised to have a full build out of about 45,000 residents.  

This exhibit attempts to tell the story of the development of Peachtree City from 18th century woodlands to a modern city of approximately 38,000 residents.
