“Exhibit galleries: our main exhibit, the land of promise, tells stories of those who have lived in northeast georgia and serves as a reminder that our region is a land of promise for everyone. We additionally have the mathis folk art gallery and our changing exhibit space. Only about 20% of the history center's collection of historic artifacts is on display at any one time; the remainder remains in the archives where the material culture of our shared past is cared for and maintained in a professional, environmentally controlled environment. Access to the archives is by appointment. The 18th-century cabin of cherokee indian white path was originally constructed c. 1780. The cabin was saved and restored by don cooley, a descendant of white path, and moved to the present site by james mathis. We also are home to the herrin blacksmith shop. The american freedom garden, where we pay tribute to america's service men and women is also located on our grounds.”
