Threads of Sacrifice: Stories from Northeast Georgia
Opening November 11th, this new permanent exhibit honors the men and women of Northeast Georgia who served in World War I, World War II, and the Korean War. Through uniforms, letters, photographs, and personal stories, visitors will explore how global conflicts shaped our local community.
In honor of Veterans Day, we’re offering free admission for all veterans on November 11th. Join us as we dedicate this new space to the courage, sacrifice, and enduring legacy of our region’s heroes.
We are thankful to those family members who have donated time, artifacts, or given us the funding to make this exhibit happen. We can’t wait to share it with you!
