Took my son here after buying a Groupon during Summer vacation. We just moved to Cartersville and decided to learn a little about the place we live now. The ladies are so nice and the history of the building, the awesome artifacts, and the way they have the different sections set up is so cool! A must visit!

Where County History Comes Alive - an Amazing Walk thru Bygone TimesThere is a good reason for the museums slogan Opening a Door to the Past - it showcases more than 200 years of Bartow County history.And yes, it pays off to take on the two hours ride on scenic highways from Downtown Atlanta to the small town of Cartersville in the northwestern countryside!Placed in Cartersvilles masterfully refurbished Courthouse building Bartow History Museum has plenty of exhibits waiting for you: Here you can get a feel for the time of Cherokee inhabitancy to the effects of global events such as WWII.The museum offers an interactive gallery so we enjoyed exploring Cherokee and pioneer cabins, sat in a one-room school house and read a book at the old fashioned school desk, listened to historic voices telling stories in an authentic 1940s telephone booth to name a few things.Moreover, we steeped in the experience of working a shift in a textile mill, shopped at the General Store and learned details of a Civil War soldiers hardships.We will not forget their permant exhibitions such as Bartows Antebellum Life and Bartow in Pictures. Those are so amazing!Although we came visiting from far away our day in Cartersville during which we also met very kind and knowledgeable museum staff helped us a lot to better understand why locals love their region so much.One more reason for us at PHILS WORLD TRAVEL to recommend a visit to this extremely popular attraction to our clients from overseas.

Good museum. We saw all the exhibits in cool a/c despite the heat. The movies that play for visitors were entertaining if a bit short. Life over time exhibit was enlightening and endearing. Recommend this museum highly for lovers of history and culture

A local historical building full of history. You can tell they try to represent the history of the area well. They are very family friendly without much controversy in any of the exhibits. But as a result some of the history is a little white washed. Worth a visit, but just remember to do your own research as well.

Always an educational, enthusiastically delivered presentation! Good pace, great group of people eager to share their knowledge & history on the local area, GA & Southern region. Lots of events, something for all ages & interests.

We always enjoy our visits to this small museum. It may be small, but it has a lot to offer. They host a variety of events throughout the year. Many are great for elementary age. Occasionally they combine their events with the Western Booth Art Museum.

This is a wonderfully curated museum with awesome exhibits about local history. Their lunch and learns and their evening lectures are excellent and the staff is amazing. This is a fantastic place to visit, dont miss it.

This place was nice and educational but as an African American woman I wanted to see more displays of my culture especially the woman! But other than the was awesome. The place was organized and clean!

The chose The Church of the Ascension for their annual commemorative Christmas ornament. Its beautiful.

A must see in The area. The staff was very welcoming and helpful. The facility and exhibits are artfully maintained, stimulating much conversation and memories among our group. Not a large collection, but significant in understanding the history of the area.

Great museum that provides a look into the history and what life was like in the past

Active Military gets in free but its always good to support your local museum. Alot of beautiful history inside

Weve always loved this museum. It is truly a gem for our community for both those who live here and those who are visiting. The staff is all very friendly, they have wonderful rotating exhibits, a wonderful interactive childrens gallery, and wonderful permanent galleries. A must see for everyone :)And dont forget to check out the store! They have great gifts for everyone and lots of books to choose from, as well. I, personally, love their collection of jewelry.
