The Flat Rock Archive is located in the City of Stonecrest, Georgia, and is nestled in the Arabia Mountain National Heritage Area (AMNHA).
We are housed within a historical landscape and currently maintain the 20th-century Georgian Cottage known as the T.A. Bryant, Sr. Homestead , which was built in 1917. The T.A. Bryant, Sr. house was donated to the Archives by Rev. T.A. Bryant, Sr.'s son, and Co-Founder, Rev. T.A. Bryant, Jr. & Zilla Bryant. The site also includes a barn, smokehouse, and outhouse constructed throughout the 20th century. The Flat Rock Archive is part of a larger landscape within the Heritage Area and includes the oldest standing historical house in DeKalb County, known as the Lyon’s House, as well as, the Historic Flat Rock Cemetery, with burials dating back to enslaved people.
The Archive has secured initial funding and is currently accepting donations to continue their mission to restore and protect this unique treasure of the rural historical landscape. The team at Flat Rock Archive strives to collect and preserve a wide range of archival material, including genealogical records, newspaper articles, photographs, maps, church records, school records, rare books, and tangible artifacts that relate to African-American history in the rural South.
The Flat Rock Archive is currently pre-scheduling tours which will begin the first week of June 2023. Please click the link below to schedule your tour today. This is a great opportunity for children from the ages of 1-110 to experience a piece of history right here in Stonecrest, Ga. 😊
