On Thursday, November 13, Mayor Allegood and the City team joined the Save Acworth History Foundation at Depot Park to honor long-time Acworth residents Carolyn and Jimmy Durham with the 2025 Nancy Smith Maxwell Award. The Nancy Smith Maxwell Award, named after a the much-loved member of the Acworth community, was instituted in 2020 to be presented each year to honor someone who has made an outstanding contribution towards preserving the rich history and heritage of the Acworth community.

The City thanks Carolyn & Jimmy Durham for their continued contribution to our community’s quality of life and for being invaluable sources of encouragement and mentoring in the Save Acworth History Foundation’s efforts to preserve Acworth history.
