Visiting Millionaires' Village

Next stop, Jekyll Island, Georgia,

home to an exclusive social club from 1886 to 1947.
Membership was limited to 100 of the richest, most influential people in the U.S.
Names likes Astor, Pulitzer, Goodyear & Vanderbilt.

The hotel of the Jekyll Island Club,

Many members built "cottages" for their winter stays on Jekyll.

This is Moss Cottage, named after the Spanish moss in the trees,
owned by George Macy.

Indian Mound cottage, owned by William & Almira Rockefeller.

  You can take a carriage ride through the historic district
gaping at the mansion-sized cottages.

Millionaires came here for "splendid isolation".

 The owners were asked to leave the island during WWII

 due to submarine activity off the coast.

The state bought the island in 1947.

This island is beautiful and known for its historical preservation.
