A visit to the Bartow History Center is
indeed a trip back in time.
The
museum documents the history of northwest
Georgia's Bartow County, spanning more than
200 years since the Cherokee were the area's
primary residents. Artifacts, photographs,
documents, and a variety of interactive
permanent
exhibits tell the story of settlement,
Cherokee removal, Civil War strife, and
lifestyles of years past. Regional
experiences and events are explored and
re-discovered. Even a national or global
event, such as the Second World War, had an
impact here at home in Bartow County, and
our exhibits bring that to light.
Our temporary exhibits highlight various
aspects of Bartow County, the State of
Georgia, and the Southeastern United States
history.
Current Exhibit
A Collection of Color
April 27 - August 30, 2008
This exhibit will explore
a wide
selection of fabrics, clothing, and
accessories that span both time and the
spectrum of color.
Upcoming Temporary
Exhibits
More info coming soon.
