Sautee Nacoochee Center and its parent organization, Sautee Nacoochee Community Association, were established in 1981 to recognize the importance of saving the heritage, land and community of this exceptional place in the mountains of North Georgia. Over the last 38 years the scope of the Center's goals in it's stewardship have widened and its responsibility and leadership in the community's life have strengthened. Today the opportunities it offers the entire Northeast Georgia region have come to include a major Folk Pottery Museum - classes and exhibits in the visual arts - a performance program that provides exposure to the best of national and regional musicians, dancers and actors, and varied educational programs for both adults and children that support learning in all of these areas. The center also supports the community with scheduled programs and activities which nurture and enhance the lives of its seniors and other special groups.
