The Jekyll Island Club flourished into the 1930s, but world events took their toll. With the advent of World War I, several members offered their personal yachts to the war effort as well as providing financial assistance. The Great Depression began to change people’s priorities, and in two year’s time, half the Club’s membership dropped away. The final blow to the life of the Club, however, was World War II and the threat of enemy submarines just off the coast, inducing the U.S. government’s order to evacuate the island. The Club’s president hoped to reopen after the war, but in 1946 the state of Georgia entered the picture, buying the entire island for $675,000 in order to turn the once prestigious and influential island into a public state park. The Club properties, leased from the state of Georgia by an investment firm, has been restored, thereby transforming the Jekyll Island Club’s former elegance and ambiance into one of the finest luxury getaway hotels in America, the Jekyll Island Club Hotel.
