McAllister.  If you would like to tour the Ford Planation or see some local artists' renditions of historic photographs, you can hang out with the Richmond Hill Historical Society at the Henry Ford Kindergarten Museum.  If great food and music is on your agenda be sure to attend the Great Ogeechee Seafood Festival.  Come on out and enjoy the great weather and family fun in Richmond Hill!
