Welcome to the Bartow History Museum
Welcome to
the Bartow History Museum. We offer many resources for the
historian and casual visitor alike. The Museum is open Monday
through Saturday. We offer special Exhibits throughout the
year. Researching your family's history? Check out our
Archives or give us a call. Do you know anything about the
Etowah Mounds, 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!
The Bartow
History Museum is temporarily closed.
