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!
