March 30: Silver anniversary party for Bartow History Museum

Media release: On April 7, 1987, the Etowah Historical Museum, now known as the Bartow History Museum, opened its doors. Over the past 25 years, the Museum has grown, moved a few times, collected and preserved thousands of historic artifacts, documents, and photographs, created a variety of exhibits and programs, and much more. Yet, the central mission of the museum to preserve Bartow County's rich history and educate the public has remained unchanged. Also unchanged is the support and commitment given by the community, our members, and donors.

In celebration of this historic milestone, the Bartow History Museum is hosting a Silver Anniversary Party on Friday, March 30, from 6:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. Open to the public, attendees are invited to show their support of the museum, enjoy food and fellowship, as well as be the first to see the Museum's new exhibition, "Bartow's Treasures: 25 Years of Collecting, Preserving, and Educating." Tickets are $50 and include heavy hors d'oeuvres and an open bar. There will also be special raffle prizes given away that evening, including a Sony tablet, a 26" flat screen television, and framed historic artwork. Raffle tickets are $15 each or 3 for $40. You do not have to be present to win. Event tickets and raffle tickets are available now in the Museum at 4 E Church Street in downtown Cartersville or by calling 770-387-2774.
