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
that might be of interest to you. Just moved
to town and would like to find out more
about the many parts of our local history?
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
rings a bell – you should visit us to find
out why they are an integral part of Bartow
County!
