Thomas County’s Bicentennial
This once-in-a-lifetime event focused on the last 200 years of Thomas County’s history and features artifacts and memories from past and present citizens.
December 11th & 12th, 2025
Commemorating 200 years of Thomas County!
Working alongside the Thomas County Board of Commissioners, the Thomasville History Center hosted, “An Act”: A Commemorative Reading of “An Act to Create Two New Counties,” during Victorian Christmas on December 11 & 12, 2025.
Guests joined us as we explored the past 200 years of Thomas County’s history. We presented artifacts for visitors to discover, shared a slideshow full of images showcasing our community’s past, featured a performance of the founding document, offered Bicentennial memorabilia, and much more. Guests were encouraged to participate in the reading and interact with costumed interpreters.
It was a historic evening as we looked back on the last 200 years and looked ahead to the community’s future. Thanks to all who participated!
