Jekyll Island, GA, February 15, 2010 – Today the Jekyll Island Authority celebrated the dedication and reopening of Indian Mound Cottage. Indian Mound Cottage, part of the Jekyll Island Club National Historic Landmark District, had previously been under renovation for the past two years.
Careful attention was given to maintain the historical integrity of the Cottage while updating it with new carpet, fresh paint, and a new roof among other improvements. The dedication ceremonies marked the re-opening of Indian Mound Cottage for public tours.
Indian Mound Cottage was originally built in 1891 as a winter retreat for Gordon McKay but was purchased by the Rockefellers in 1905 to be used as their vacation home. William Rockefeller, brother to John D. Rockefeller and a partner in Standard Oil, was a charter member of the Jekyll Island Club beginning in 1886. He was active in the island life of the Club for 36 years until his death in 1922. William and his wife Almira Rockefeller oversaw the additions and renovations that gave Indian Mound Cottage its present day appearance.
Tours of Indian Mound Cottage are given daily by the Jekyll Island Museum, (912) 635-4036. The cottage is also available for private function event rentals, (912) 635-4403.
Jekyll Island Club Member Charles Meldrum Daniels won 8 medals over three Olympic tournaments (1904, 1906, and 1908), including 5 Gold Medals, 1 Silver, and 2 Bronzes. Daniels was the first American to win an Olympic swimming event. He modified the Australian crawl into what became the “American crawl” and developed the freestyle breaststroke. Setting world records at every distance from 25 yards to one mile, he became known as “the greatest swimmer in the world.”
Jekyll Island Club Member George J. Gould was appointed an honorary Vice President of the 1906 Olympic Committee in Athens by H.R.H. Crown Prince Constantine of Greece. At the 1908 Olympics in London, George Gould’s son, Jay Gould II won a Gold Medal in Court Tennis the only year the event appeared. Later termed the “monarch of court tennis for more than a quarter of a century,” Jay practiced tennis on Jekyll Island at his Uncle Edwin Gould’s luxurious Gould Casino. The Gould Casino contained numerous amenities, including two bowling alleys, a rifle range, a private indoor tennis court, several outdoor tennis courts, and a greenhouse.
Jekyll Island Club Members and Guests George Gould, J. P. Morgan, and Andrew Carnegie all served as Vice-Presidents on an Olympic Committee formed to create interest in the 1912 Stockholm Olympics, referred to as the Fifth Olympiad.
Jekyll Island Club Member Henry Francis Sears vacationed annually on Jekyll Island, staying at Moss Cottage with his wife, Jean Struthers Sears, and their family. His marksmanship earned him a spot at the 1912 Stockholm Olympics. The 50-year-old participated in three Olympic shooting events. He made his strongest showing in the Free Pistol Team Event, earning the Americans a Gold Medal.
James “Stillman” Rockefeller enjoyed family getaways on Jekyll Island as a child. The grandson of Club Member William Rockefeller and future son-inlaw to island visitor Andrew Carnegie, he captained a crew at Yale and rowed with his team to victory in the 1924 Olympic Games in Paris. The “Yale 8” won by fifteen seconds and three boat lengths. The oars from the winning boat and his Gold Medal remained his most treasured possessions his entire life. When he died at 102 years old, Stillman Rockefeller was the oldest living Olympic Gold Medalist.
Dwight Filley Davis is famed as the founder of the Davis Cup. In 1904, he directed the St. Louis Olympics and participated in the tennis events, but was eliminated in the second round of the Men’s Singles and lost in the quarter finals of the Men’s Doubles. He then served on the American Olympic Committee for the 1906 Athens Olympics. As a younger brother of Jekyll Island Club Member John Tilden Davis, Dwight Davis spent time as a guest of the Jekyll Island Club. He served with many other tennis greats on a committee for Jekyll Island’s annual invitation tennis tournament that began on Washington’s Birthday and drew many star players to the island.
Watson Washburn played on the 1924 Olympic team in Paris along with Dick Williams, Hazel Wightman, and Helen Wills. In the Men’s Doubles, Washburn played with Dick Williams, his former Harvard teammate, but they lost in the quarter finals when the South African team came back to win after trailing by two sets to one. Washburn later travelled to Jekyll Island to win an invitation doubles tennis tournament in 1940. The manager of the 1924 Olympic tennis team was none other than Washburn’s brother-in-law, Jekyll Island Club Member Julian Southall Myrick. While serving as Olympic team manager, Myrick teamed up with Hazel Hotchkiss Wightman to play a mixed doubles match against Vincent Richards and Queen Victoria of Spain. Myrick and Wightman lost.
On February 12-28, 2010, athletes will be competing in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada for the 21st Winter Olympics. Jekyll Island Club Members and Guests have been part of the Olympic tradition for over a century. This year become part of that tradition and watch the legacy unfold from Jekyll Island.

Houghton was known as America’s “business man diplomat.” Among the third generation of his family to head the Corning Glass Works, Houghton began learning the glass trade in 1889. In time, he became Vice President (1902-1910) and later President (1910-18) of Corning Glass Works. He would also serve as a U.S. Congressman and an ambassador to Germany and Great Britain. Despite an active political career, Houghton helped manage the family glass dynasty into his 70s.
Corning Glass Works had developed the glass light bulb casing for Thomas Edison’s incandescent lamp. With the company poised to bring affordable electricity to the masses, Houghton sought an automated means to rapidly and inexpensively produce light bulbs. Other Corning executives were reluctant to invest, so he and his brother Arthur financed it themselves. This resulted in the company’s first semi-automatic bulb-making machine in 1913. That year it produced 420 bulbs an hour and 40 million light bulbs. Houghton then negotiated agreements for Corning Glass to produce 40% of the incandescent light bulbs in America.
Corning Glass Works also cornered the market on railway signal glass. Intent on producing the best quality railroad lamps, Houghton established one of the nation’s earliest in-house research labs and hired professionally trained scientists. They studied how to improve the heat-resistance, durability, and color schemes of railroad lanterns and warning lights. The standards they set were adopted by the industry. As a result, the company manufactured 75% of railway signal glass used in America. Corning’s “shatterproof ” glass lanterns were soon a mainstay of the railroad industry.
The onset of World War I resulted in the loss of access to European laboratory glass. Beginning in 1914, Corning Glass Works began producing laboratory glassware. This led to a patent for a new borosilicate glass that would be used in kitchens across the nation. Under Houghton’s leadership in 1915, heatresisting Pyrex cookware was first introduced as a popular household product.
In January 1918, Houghton acquired Steuben Glass Works, retaining talented master artist Frederick Carder as its Art Director. Carder was known for his multi-hued luxury crystal. Carder produced iridescent luster glass in a variety of shades, including the popular Gold Aurene, Blue Aurene, and Verre de Soie. His creations included Venetianstyle millefiori wares and intarsia etched and colored glassware. Carder’s most recognizable innovations in cut glass techniques date to his time with Corning Glass Works. A prolific artist, Carder created 7,000 varieties of candlesticks, lamps, perfume bottles, bowls, vases, goblets and decanters. In later years, Houghton’s nephew, Arthur Amory Houghton, Jr., would manage Steuben’s development of clear crystal.
Alanson B. Houghton, a Jekyll Island Club Member from 1919 until his death in 1941, is known to have visited the island in 1919 and 1922. In 1936, Jekyll Island established an Annual Invitation Men’s Doubles Round Robin tennis tournament. Houghton donated a cup presented each year to the winners.
With Houghton at the helm as an executive of Corning Glass Works, the family-owned business tripled in size to become one of the leading glass manufacturers in the world. Houghton’s descendants have continued the family tradition, creating fine art glass, as well as glass for televisions, coffeemakers, fiber optics, the Hale and Hubble Telescopes, and windows for every U.S. manned space vehicle.
Jekyll Island, Georgia is a prime example of an outdoor learning laboratory, one geared towards the maritime environment.
The following Jekyll Island educational opportunities not only present prime opportunities for learning, but they’re fun!
Drop in at Tidelands and experience a wide variety of nature activities revolving around marine ecology. It’s kids and nature, one on one!
Kids can touch and handle fauna, flora and just plain icky stuff at several hands-on study stations. Or learn about the lives of sharks swimming off the Jekyll Island coast. They can study maritime forests from close up, hiking through natural woodlands.
And learn about salt marsh, and how living things (including humans) benefit from it’s protection.
Kids can even learn to kayak, and take a guided kayak trip through Jekyll Island’s salt marsh ecosystem.
This unique center located, in Jekyll Island’s Historic District, is dedicated to the study, protection and preservation of both sea and land based turtles. Kids can learn everything there is to know about sea turtles, from loggerheads to greens to leatherbacks and more, and about land-based turtles, too. Take a walk on the wild side – a turtle walk, that is, along Jekyll Island’s 10 miles of beach, looking for sea turtles and their nests, attend a sea turtle camp and become a junior conservationist, visit the Georgia Sea Turtle Center’s hospital, and see how the staff rehabilitates sick or injured turtles, become a virtual sea turtle, and experience the life journey of a turtle, from hatchling to (hopefully) old-timer, adopt a sea turtle you can call your own, attend a turtle release, where the Center’s staff releases rehabilitated turtles back to the sea.
Maritime Forests -Kids can learn about the importance of a maritime forest, and it’s relationship with other Jekyll Island ecologys.
Take guided walks through the maritime forest environment, and learn how it relates with the ocean, beach, dune, and marshland ecosystems. Don’t want to walk? Take a Segway tour, riding a gyroscopic Segway, and learn about the forest in style!
Kids get wet and wild with a kayak adventure into Jekyll Island’s river and salt water marsh environment.
Rent a kayak at Tidelands Nature Center. Their guides will teach you everything you need to know for safe kayak operation.
First leg – paddle across Rixen Pond. Watch out for leaping mullet – they’ve been known to jump into boats!
Second leg – portage from Rixen Pond to the boat ramp and put into Jekyll River, and gain first-hand experience with wind and tide. Paddling with a rising tide, with the wind at your back – that’s a breeze. But paddling into an ebbing tide, with the wind in your face – you’ll work like a dog!
Third leg – into the salt marsh, via several creeks that constantly narrow as you ply up-stream. Learn about several types of marsh grass. The barrier islands off the Georgia coast are known as the Golden Isles because the marsh grasses turn burnished gold in winter. Look for crabs, redfish, herons, and other marsh wildlife. And find out how the salt marsh environment not only feeds the fish that feed us, but filters pollutants from the uplands.
Jekyll Island is rich in history, and inquisitive kids can soak in a rich brew of historic fact – along with a bit of speculation.
Check out the Millionaire’s Village. From the late 1800’s to the early 1900’s, Jekyll Island was a playground for millionaires like J.P. Morgan, Vanderbilt, and Rockefeller. The Jekyll Island Club was their play house, and the renovated mansions you can visit within the Historic District were their “cottages.
Visit the Jekyll Island museum for further history lessons, including Jekyll’s role in creating the Federal Reserve. Learn about the Wanderer, one of the last slave ships to bring slaves to America. It landed on Jekyll in 1858. And, get this – even Bigfoot likes a beach vacation. A Sasquatch was reportedly spotted on Jekyll Island in 1963No matter how they’re taught, kids can benefit from fun-filled educational activities, even on vacation. Whether the classroom is a barrier island like Jekyll, a mountain cove like Cade’s Cove in the Smokey Mountains, a National Park such as Yellowstone, or even an urban environment like Washington, D.C., there are plenty of educational opportunities for your kids to get a one-up on learning.

“The Holidays in History” tour will begin at the Jekyll Island Museum. Small groups of guests will venture by tram throughout the Historic Landmark District.
“Our costumed characters will change frequently and will be a daily surprise,” said John Hunter, the Director of the Jekyll Island Museum. “Guests will see the entire district and enter two of the cottages. But which cottage interiors they visit will also change on a daily basis. This enables us to be responsive to those guests who want to come back for a variety of experiences with us.”
Guests might witness a Victorian Christmas at Club Cottage in the year 1890 or an Edwardian holiday season at Mistletoe Cottage around 1910. They might hear about the Jekyll Island Club’s seasonal celebrations inside historic Faith Chapel, built in 1904. They might take their revelry into a rustic hunting retreat at Moss Cottage in the year 1905. Or they might participate in festivities at Indian Mound Cottage in the year 1917.
“Jekyll Island is an ideal backdrop for this program,” Hunter explained. “Our history is so rich and our historic buildings span a very broad time range.”
The museum possesses an array of costumed characters to draw from as well as a talented crew of interpretive guides. Experiences will vary throughout the month of December and no two tours will be the same.
“We hope that this tour will help to spread the sentiment of the season and bring those joys into our guests’ holidays today and in the future,” Hunter said.
Jekyll Island Museum, Stable Road. Program offered daily, December 6-31, 11 am, 1 pm, & 3 pm, except December 24 and 25. Rate is $16 for adults, $7 for children 6-12, and free under 6.

Indian Mound Cottage was built in 1891 as a winter retreat for Gordon McKay but was purchased by the Rockefellers in 1905. William Rockefeller, brother to John D. Rockefeller was a charter member of the Jekyll Island Club beginning in 1886. It was William and Almira Rockefeller who oversaw the additions and renovations that gave Indian Mound Cottage its present day appearance.
In recent months, the cottage has been thoroughly restored, inside and out, from the roof on down. Now the ambitious project is finally nearing completion.
John Hunter, the Director of Historic Resources for the Jekyll Island Authority, manages one of the largest ongoing preservation programs in the Southeast, caring for Jekyll Island’s 34 historic buildings. Indian Mound Cottage was funded from the capital improvement budget of the Jekyll Island Authority. “The preservationists with JHC from Peachtree City have accomplished a mighty task with this 12,000-square foot structure,” Hunter said.
During the project, workers replaced the cedar-shake roof as well as the airconditioning system. They repainted the exterior shingle siding and trim. They painstakingly scraped, patched, repaired, primed and painted the porch railings, deck, columns, and balconies. They industriously repainted all of the interior walls and ceilings, as well.
“Great care has been taken to retain the many unique details and craftsmanship inside the house, from the banister, to the molding, to the mantelpieces,” Hunter commented.
Period-inspired carpeting in historic colors and patterns, a contribution from the Friends of Historic Jekyll Island, will also be newly installed throughout the entire second story.
The newly restored home serves as a wonderful backdrop for the museum’s period furnishings, its lithograph portraits of William and Almira Rockefeller, and the many documented stories of the family’s visits to the island that bring the house to life and stir the imagination.
Gretchen Greminger, the Curator of the Jekyll Island Museum, reported that some interesting architectural finds were located during the course of the restoration process. Work crews came across original plaster remnants, some original shingles dating to the McKay period of the house, and notably a George Cowman signature. “The George Cowman signature was found on one of the wall studs inside the wall in Almira’s bedroom. George Cowman was the contractor that did the Rockefeller additions,” Greminger explained. “Given that we have been working to restore this structure to the way Cowman first made it look for the Rockefellers, I believe that gives us a very real and direct link to the man who wrote his name here,” Greminger reflected. “I like to think he would be happy with what we have done.”
Members of the public wishing to see Indian Mound Cottage newly restored can look forward to that opportunity. Indian Mound will soon reenter the cottage rotation in the Jekyll Island Museum’s daily tours of the historic district.

Cornelius Lee, Secretary of the United States Golf Association (USGA), was a member of the Jekyll Island Club from 1919– 1947. He served as the Chairman of the Green Committee for the Jekyll Island Club. In 1924, under his influence, low-to-high handicap golfers conducted a series of equipment tests on Jekyll Island. These tests resulted in the adoption of a lighter ball and steel-shafted clubs for use by the USGA.
The USGA permitted the use of steel-shafted clubs in 1924. In 1931, it also dictated the use of a larger, lighter ball that was very unpopular. After a year the USGA reverted back to a heavier ball but maintained the larger size.
The Change in technology signified a switch to more modern golf equipment. It also represented America’s shift away from the rules of golf established by the Royal and Ancient Golf Club in Scotland, which had determined international golf standards since its fomation in 1754.

While many Jekyll Island Club Members were known as “Captains of Industry,” lawyer Robert Weeks De Forest was dubbed the “Captain of Philanthropy” for his lifetime of social service.
The Charity Organization Society was just one of many organizations De Forest created to assist others. It coordinated relief for New York’s poor.
Starting the Christmas of 1912, the Charity Organization Society took an active part in the New York Times’ first Christmas fund drive asking its readers not to forget their jobless, orphaned, aged, injured, homeless, and ill neighbors struggling to make ends meet. Headlines read, “Santa Clause please take notice! Here are New York’s 100 neediest cases.” One of four organizations involved in the campaign’s early years, the Charity Organizajtion Society collected stories about the poor and their struggles. It told personal stories of fathers, mothers, small children, and elderly citizens in distress. The appeals did not request money, but simply presented their circumstances and stated their needs.
Aid was given in many ways. People were provided food, shelter, and medicine. The sick and injured were treated. Boys and girls were sent to school and taught skills to help their struggling families. One hundred percent of the funds raised went to the needy, with The New York Times supporting all the costs of the campaign.
Readers rushed to help those in need of Christmas generosity. Some donations were received from the wealthy, but the drive appealed to everyone according to their means. Letters showed that a dollar given by one meant as much as a thousand given by another, and all gifts were sent in the same spirit of generosity and good will. During the Christmas of 1916, De Forest wrote to thank the New York Times for giving readers an opportunity to help. De Forest wrote “The desire on the part of us who are more ‘blessed’ with prosperity to help those who are least ‘blessed,’ is I am glad to say, quite universal among our American people.” Donations poured in from all ages and social classes, and varied from less than one dollar to $1,600, raising $17,000 of Christmas joy that season alone. To De Forest, the Christmas drive was, in part, an opportunity to develop the spirit of giving in the young. “I have been accustomed to encourage each child of my acquaintance to give each year to some particular case on your list and I have provided each with the means for doing so,” he wrote. One child told him she helped a particular family “because the boys are so brave.” Through the touching stories, people came to care about helping others. The “100 Neediest Cases” fund became a year, the “100 Neediest Cases” has raised $250 million.
Robert Weeks De Forest devoted himself to numerous charitable, civic, and cultural activities. President Taft once called his services on behalf of others a “shining record.” Photo courtesy of the Library of Congress. Capture the Holiday Spirit this Season!
This holiday season there are many needs in the local community. The Jekyll Island Authority has created some fun and easy ways to make a big difference locally through its sponsorship of United Way of Coastal Georgia. United Way advances the education, health, and financial independence of Glynn and McIntosh Counties through its many partner agencies. Here are some simple ways you can participate in the season of giving on Jekyll Island and help United Way:
United Way Golf Tournament – Support United Way November 14, 2009. 9:00 am Shot-Gun. 2 Person Scramble on Indian Mound’s Course. $50 per person (includes Golf/Cart, Boxed Lunch & prizes). For more information, contact the Jekyll Island Golf Course, 912-635-2368.
Sheila Zynda, of Darien, GA, took Jekyll Island’s Folklore, Rumor & Myth tour last October and was enthusiastic. “I think Jekyll Island is a fantastic place to come for ghost hunting,” she said. “Besides the history, you might get to see something that you’re not expecting. “
Island visitors and staff alike have reported seeing unexplained orbs of light, smelling perfumes and cigars, hearing voices and laughter and Victrola music, experiencing cold spots, and sometimes even seeing spirits wearing period dress inside the shuttered buildings of the historic district.
In Zynda’s tour group, one woman captured an orb on her cell phone, while Zynda herself reported feeling a cold spot following her through a portion of the tour of Dubignon Cottage. Others saw flickering lights in the empty buildings as the tour moved through the twilight under the moss-draped live oaks.
“It’s an experience that you might only get once in your lifetime,” Akins said with an enjoyable shiver.
These phenomena are by no means new. Apparitions have been reported for many years throughout Jekyll Island’s 240-acre National Historic Landmark District. Nearly every cottage has some deep mystery or restless soul associated with a grand love story, an untimely death, a great misadventure, or a little mischief.
Tour guides lean on their professional knowledge of the island’s past to interpret the supernatural happenings. The Folklore, Rumor & Myth tour is peppered with stories of Jekyll Island’s historic characters in attempts to explain the reported sightings.
Guides note that different individuals have identified several spirits that have been encountered through comparisons with historical photographs. Those that have been identified include William and Savannah Struthers, Eddie Gould, Jr., and Walter Jennings, as well as Peggy and Marian Maurice. Others appear but remain nameless.
As the haunting mysteries multiplied over the years, Jekyll Island Museum staff began to collect the tales. Annually, during the month of October, they share the unusual stories they have heard. On the Folklore, Rumor and Myth Tour, guides usher guests to spots where apparitions have been sighted and unexplained events have occurred. Guests are then led inside one of the historic district cottages for more spine-tingling stories as darkness falls.
Wes Gruenke, a museum guide, often brings his groups inside Dubignon Cottage, calling it “the most paranormally active house we’ve got.” He notes that the Southern plantation home is the oldest house on the island, after Horton House.
To view a YouTube video preview of the tour, visit http://www.youtube.com/user/JekyllIslandMuseum .
The Folklore, Rumor & Myth Tour departs from the Jekyll Island Museum at 100 Stable Road on Friday nights, from October 2-31, 2009 at 7:00 pm. Admission is $16.00 for Adults and $7.00 for Children 6-12. The tour is recommended for ages 10 and above. Reservations are requested. For more information or for reservations, call 912-635-4036.
