Today, 82 years after its establishment, the Glennwanis Hotel is still on the corner of Barnard and Tillman. After three quarters of a century, the building is structurally sound but needs an extensive remodel inside. Plans are underway and donations are being accepted for this historical project. Donations may be made to the City of Glennville, Attn: Glennwanis Hotel, 134 Veterans Boulevard, Glennville, Georgia 30427.
