My husband and I were in town for BRAG (Bicycle Ride Across Georgia). The city closed off one street next to the train station for live entertainment for our group. This museum was just across the street so we visited it. We were greeted by a friendly docent who gave us a personal guided tour through the museum. It was a great place for local history, and she gave the personal stories of several of the people pictured and who had donated military uniforms and other items.
The museum is clean, well-presented and interesting for anyone who wants to know more about the local history.
