Come to the Bartow History Museum to visit our special Temporary Exhibition: “We Did This Ourselves: The Community's Effort to Elect a Governor”!
In November 1982, Cartersville resident Joe Frank Harris was elected governor of the State of Georgia. In large part, it was through his supporters in Bartow County that led the grass roots campaign that put him in this important role.
Thirty years later, Bartow History Museum features an exhibition that looks back at Harris’ political career and the tremendous effort put forth by the people of Bartow County during the gubernatorial campaign.
This Temporary Exhibition will be on display until February 16, 2013.
* It can be viewed at the Bartow History Museum, during regular Museum hours (Monday-Saturday, 10:00 a.m.- 5:00 p.m.; closed Sunday). *
Free to members; included in the price of admission for not-yet-members

More About Bartow History Museum
In addition to exhibits and programs, which include records, photographs and artifacts documenting the history of Bartow County for more than 200 years, the Bartow History Museum contains archives and research rooms.
The museum's collection begins at the time period when the Native American Cherokee were the area's primary residents. Interactive permanent exhibits detail settlement, Cherokee removal and Civil War strife. Exhibits also show the effects of global events, such as World War II, on Bartow County.
In 2010, the museum relocated to the 1869 Courthouse from its former location at 13 North Wall Street in Cartersville.
Programs include historical workshops, lunch and learn sessions, a summer camp, parents' nights out and a Thursday evening lecture series.
