Super Museum Sunday & "Show & Tell"

Make plans to visit the Thomasville History Center on Sunday, February 5 for a special two-part event that kicks off our new year of programs. This year, we want to bring you into our world and share more about how museums operate, how we care for and display our collections, and more.

Join us for “Show & Tell” between 2pm and 4pm as we roll out a new format for our traditional Annual Meeting. Get up close and hands-on with artifacts from our collection at ten different stations featuring artifacts donated by community members in the last year and learn how we will incorporate those artifacts into our future storytelling. We cannot wait to show and tell you all about what we achieved in 2022.

For the first time, we will allow visitors to get a peek behind the scenes at our collections with tours of our storage at 2pm, 2:30pm, 3pm, and 3:30pm with members of our staff. At 3pm, we will hold a brief review of the History Center’s accomplishments in 2022 and help us to welcome our new slate of Board Members. This will include a brief business meeting and all are welcome to attend.

The Annual Meeting coincides with Super Museum Sunday, the state-wide free admission day for institutions across the state organized by the Georgia Historical Society. Both the History Center and Lapham-Patterson House will be open for free self-guided tours from Noon until 4pm.
