Come visit the Bartow History Center! We offer many resources for the history buff and casual visitor alike. Researching your family's history? Check our Archives or give us a call. Looking for something to do on a rainy day? Come downtown and stop by – our Museum is open Monday through Saturday. We offer special Exhibits throughout the year. Do you know anything about the Etowah Mounds or DeSoto, the Cherokee or General Sherman? Why are Sam P. Jones, Rebecca Felton, and Joe Frank Harris still talked about in a neighborly fashion? If none of these names ring a bell – you should visit us to find out why they are an integral part of Bartow County!
