History of the Booth Reunion
The Booth Family Reunion has been held on the second Sunday in August at the Booth memorial Park since 1950. Prior to 1950, Booth Reunions were sporadically held on different dates, different locations, and not on an annual basis. At the 1950 gathering it was deemed an Annual Family Reunion was appropriate and the second Sunday in August was selected by the group in attendance. Hence, 72 years later we will gather on August 14th, 2022, the second Sunday in August. When you have a good thing going, stick with it!
Next Years Reunion….August 13th, 2023!
Location
The location of Booth Memorial Park was within the boundaries of Jackson County, Georgia until 1914. At that time a large portion of Jackson County was used to form Barrow County. Winder, the current county seat of barrow County was once in Jackson County. Jackson County was formed in 1796, and became the twenty-second county in the state. It was named in honor of General James Jackson of Revolutionary War fame. General Jackson also served Georgia as a US Senator and Governor.
