****The Lawrence County Historical Museum****

The museum hours are the same as the hours the Chamber of Commerce are open. I don't know if there is anyone there on Saturday's right now. Anyone can see the display (still a small oil display). (Update from Roberta Talley)

The Historical Society is looking for pictures of people and places in Lawrence County. They have arrangements with a photo studio in Lawrenceville that will make copies of photos and put them on a CD for permanent storage. If you have pictures to donate but don't want to give them up on a permanent basis, they can have them copied and they will then return the pictures to you. Please include a note stating that you are giving the Historical Society permission to use the photos.
