About

The Georgia State Cotton Museum is more than a collection of artifacts. It outlines the history of cotton.

Story

The Georgia Cotton Museum includes the slave issues and how their participation in the production of cotton contributed to the economy. It shows how farmers dealt with planting, controlling insects, prayed for rain and sunshine, and waited for the white fluff to appear at harvest time. How the farmers sold their cotton. The tools that they plowed, planted and harvested the cotton are on display as well as the weighing machinery and planters desk where farmers and ginners kept accurate records of the harvest.

We were blessed by a guide at this museum that had actually worked on a local cotton farm when she was young. Her dad used to pick around 600-pounds of cotton per day. The bale of cotton in our picture weighs around 500-pounds. This museum was free and we were there around 45-minutes with our very informative guide.

Call before going to see if they are open. Traveled from Atlanta (2hrs) and the place was closed, even though it says they are open. Really? Memorial day weekend and closed.....bummer :-(

The museum is open on Thursday & Friday, 9:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. and on Saturday, 10:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m. PLEASE CALL before you travel to see the museum to make sure it is open. Circumstances sometimes keeps the museum from being open. We do depend on volunteers!
