Today, the Historic Harrington School still stands on St. Simons Island. The region is also home to many historic landmarks, including the Selden Normal and Industrial Institute and the tabby cabins of Hamilton Plantation. Authors Amy Roberts and Patrick Holladay have written about the rich history of the islands and their people, including notable figures like Deaconess Alexander, Jim Brown, Neptune Small, Hazel Floyd, and the Georgia Sea Island Singers.
