Pebble Hill Plantation in partnership with Thomasville Landmarks will host author Beth Yarbrough for a special program focused on historic preservation, local history, and community engagement at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday, September 12, 2026, at the Pebble Hill Plantation Learning Center.

Yarbrough is the author of the recently published book, The Grassroots Guide to Saving What Matters: Historic Preservation for Everyday People, a user-friendly handbook designed to engage and empower individuals interested in preserving the historic structures and places within their own communities.

Guests attending the program will also be able to purchase the highlighted book ($12.95) and enjoy a Q&A session and book signing with Yarbrough, followed by a walking tour highlighting several preservation projects across Pebble Hill’s main grounds. Representatives from Thomasville Landmarks and several local preservation partners who serve on their board of directors will also participate in the discussions during the tour, offering additional insight into the importance of historic preservation efforts within the community.

Tickets for the program are $10 and must be purchased in advance by visiting pebblehill.com. For additional information, registration details, or to plan your visit, please contact Kitty Spivey, at 229-226-2344 or kspivey@pebblehill.com
